: Paddled the Petrel last weekend at Okume Fest. I thought it had
: enough room for my size 15 feet and 36" inseam. Barefooted
: though and without using the footpegs because they were stuck
: too close to me. Not sure I can fit with foorwear in it but size
: 11 should be no problem especially on a 34" inseam. At 185
: I'm lighter than you and I thought the boat was loaded well. 200
: may be OK too if you do not add much more in gear. Real pleasure
: to lay back or balance brace, very stable for me and very
: maneuverable. Very wet ride too.

: Don't know if that was much help to you... Deck height can be
: adjusted in the feet area and the rest seemed fine to me.

Thanks for the feed back. In hopes of a good feed back I ordered plans last week and they where at my door step last night. I stopped at home on my lunch hour today and the local lumber yard had delived my cedar. Due to some commitments it will be two weeks before I can start.
