: It might be worth checking out this one, it is designed with big
: bast**ds in mind.

: And I would think you fall into the that category.

: It has a rounded hull section, which will take more stitching, but
: which should also give forgiving handling in rough seas.

: I have a boat of similar dimensions ( a Nimrod 2 - strip built )
: and it gets plenty of use. It is just great for huge guys for
: normal use, while also being a big forgiving stable platform for
: nervous beginners of normal stature and girth.

: I am not sure if they sell as a kit only, or if they would sell you
: just the plans. Also it is Canadian $

: Etienne

I resemble that remark! I do like the design and agree it would be ideal. They do now sell to US residents but state they sell kits only. I will inquire about plan sales though. I got Pygmy's catalog today, and noticed they sell predominantly kits, with plans to two or so older designs. I admit to knowing nothing about the economics of this industry but there must be good reasons for avoiding plans sales...
