Ken

: The designed displacement of the Endeavour with a 4" draft is 280lbs.
: Deduct about 50lbs for the weight of the kayak and the paddler and gear
: weight required to bring the boat down to the 4" depth is 230lbs.
: Each additional 97lbs will sink the boat an extra 1".

: The Endeavour should be able to handle Chuck without problem but he may be
: more comfortable in a higher volume boat like the True North.

: Glen in Baie-St-Paul.
