Just interested; I am 6-6 and finishing my first strip canoe. I own a Lettmann Nordstern seakayak, and thinking of maybe buiding a strip seakayak next. On which link can I find some info on the King ? Tx, Erik.

: 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
