Hmm just under 11 to bottom side of deck,
We're gonna need a bigger boat.

I believe that the height from the floor to the deck near the saddle should be 13 inches.

How can I tell if the Hahn I picked up is cut down, or full cut. The one I picked up seams a Li'll tight, or maybe I put on a little, since paddling one lady.

... though relatively round or roly poly, are *functionally* very stable. They might feel a bit soft, but not "tippy". Examples I would cite are the Hahn and the Magnet, both relatively full from end to end, and both very close to symmetrical. As c-boats and the kayaks from which they were "converted" ...

So Charlie, are you going back to your Hahn?

Last year I paddled the entire 280 miles in a C-1 Hahn. 8) I've C-1ed, C-2ed or OC-1ed the Grand over 20 times (mostly OC-1) and never, ever hitched a ride. I just paddle ahead of the rafts a ways then get out and walk up and down a beach to get circulation ...

Tony is correct. I use to keep a Whitesell in Flagstaff but I've since swapped it out for a Hahn. If you have a choice of open boats to use I would suggest that you use something with very soft chines. Some of the eddy fences can be very strong and violent. Soft chines ...

... the stern to side-cut a bit more easily. The way I looked at the Magnet, after my brief try in it, was as a tremendously optimized version of a Hahn. The soft rails underneath are a great addition. Magnet will carve much, much better. But it could use a larger flattish undersurface for dynamic ...

... good sized rim, but also depends on the seat height you can stand. Another trick will be wearing only socks (or less). You may want to check out a Hahn, as Charlie Walbridge is about your size as I recall. Available cheap often too, if you're willing to go old school glass vs. newer. Millbrook ...

... to do? That is a huge factor in determining which boat you should look at, i.e. there is no point in looking at something like a Cascade and/or a Hahn if playing and surfing are your primary goals. What allows me to go as low as possible are a wide knee spread, in conjunction with a a short, wide ...

... help a little, so that's my next project for my current boat). Anyway, thanks for the good solid list to get me started - Sith, Cascade, Karma, Hahn - basically, I know I'm looking for a wide, flattish bottomed boat. Good enough to get me started!
