: I saw your post on the Bear Mtn board. Had to laugh that R.F. refers to
: "big fellows" as 190+ lbs, size 10 1/2 shoes. I'm surprised that
: anyone that size feels cramped in the Endeavour and asked for a bigger
: design. I am 6'5", 215 lbs, size 13 shoes, and I quite like the
: Endeavour. I am also a beginner paddler.

: It would easily fit through MY basement windows, but that doesn't help you
: much, does it??
: Cheers;

Thanks Ken. I guess if I can fit through the window, the boat has a channce! I'm 6'1" 290 with size 12. It's the weight that's my concern. I'd hate to build a boat and either sink the thing or have a boat that doesn't handle as well as it could.
