Other: King or Outer Island?
Winter is here and it`s time to start a new boat.
Would anyone that has paddled either or both The King and Jay Babinas` Outer Island care to share your thoughts?
I am 6-2 210 size 13.
All my paddling is along the rocky coast of Maine. Mostly day paddling, some 2-3 day trips.
I am getting comfortable with my GP.
To my untrained eye the first big difference appears to be that The King is a much higher volume boat (more room for big feet and tripping gear?) The O.I. website mentions that the deck can be easily be raised if nessecary; anyone tried this?
Thanks, Matthew
