So I just weighed him and it appears all that Weetbix, cricket and paddling has turned him into a monster, he's already 38kg (85lb).

What do you think ... if I build something with a design displacement around 150lb, allowing 30lb for boat that provides for a paddler weight around 120lb? John I can see why the Isfjord mini or micro would be on your list.

Edit: I credited Scott, not John with suggesting Bjorn's designs. Fixed now.
