Older design but I had one for many years-LL Jefe Grande. Most of the time I paddled it I was over 200, never quite to 220.

... Mainly, I'd like to convert because I already have an almost new Jefe Grande and a huge sheet of foam in my parents garage.

Being brutally honest still at the stage of life where I have to be " economical with money " (working in O&G hasn't been quite the gravy train it used to be these last ...

... just push boating to the side), right before I stopped I'd just bought a Jefe-Grande to replace the previous one which I'd finally split, but never go round to converting it.

Previous setup was a foam saddle, rachet kneestraps and ratchet thigh-straps on a snap-shackle quick release, all mounted off ...

Awesome condition jefe grande. Boat barely has any wear. Bought from an older paddler who converted it and barely paddled it. I only paddled it a few weeks, before I had some horrible knee pain and doctor said no more c1.
So now I need to sell.

... in Charleston, WV. Could possibly work some sort of trade for a large, displacement hull K-1 creeker (Jefe Grande, Recon 93, Shiva L, Villain, etc.)

I'd say that if your paddling style suits it, the jefe/grande are two of the best c1's out there... but, it's led by the nose somewhat, so you have to stay on top of it all the time; want to carve a tight turn? you've got to use strokes on both sides to initiate and drive the boat through... Want to ...

I am by no means a C1 expert, but I have a Jefe Grande C1 and I really like it. Haven't paddled any other C1's, so I can't compare, but I am 5'10", 140 lbs, and it's treated me pretty good so far. I open boat about 95% of the time, but do pull out the C1 every now and again.

Works well, I had one for some time, then moved up to a grande as i put on some muscle bulk (nearly 30#). I'll add more info later, on break at work currently.

... to cushion as well (neoprene foam at the knees).

I really like the snap shackle setup in my Jefe Grande C1. One pull pops the skirt and the straps.

... that I haven't paddled personally, but seem to get converted a lot :

Jefe & Jefe Grande
Everest
Burn

I have heard that the Villain paddles a lot like an open boat, but without the annoying "open" part.

Lots of options, most anything with a wide, flat hull seems to work reasonably well.

Looking for a converted Nomad 8.5, Jefe Grande, Karnali, or other similar large volume creeker.

I really hate thigh/knee straps, so something with a foam bulkhead is preferred.

I think it is the flimsy one

What year Remix?
I have a 2011 with the old (more flimsy) seat. I was thinking about trying to retro fit a Grande seat in the 79 (specs line up) because to buy the new seat system and put it in an older Remix is around $316. I paddle the Green and am rougher on the boat. Have ripped the cleat out of ...

Got one out of a Remix 79
