Dave, you ask her. Seriously- I'm not up for that!

Cockpit size is irrelevant. I didn't mean to make it sound like that was the issue. My boat has a recessed coaming and a lowered deck, so the coaming ends up being like hip pads that aren't adjustable. It's mine, I like it.

So- in all seriousness, she's the same height as Alison Sigethy, but not as petite, i'd guess 15# heavier. Alison paddles a ranger. Guess I should ask her. Strength is not an issue for my pal, either.

So you think the Disco Bay is too big?
