Hey Rob,

I am 6' 185 with size 9.5 feet and love the King. Size 12 should be no problem. Most of my time in the King was with the boat loaded in the Queen Charlottes. I am happy with the performance both loaded and empty. We recently acquired a 19" wide kayak and after the challenge of paddling that, I can now get the King up on an extreme edge quite comfortably. If you are going to R2K3 look me up and you can try it after I get the first scratches on it. Or drop me an email and you can test it here in Ferndale,WA.
