In Response To: Re: Cigars for everyone! Not Mark (Rob Cochrane)

I have had an "oversized" kayak on the project list for a while now. It is just hard to get to all my projects. Unfortunately for those who are bigger (or smaller) than me, boats that I can use tend to make there way to the top of the list more quickly. I'm sorry, I'm selfish. I tend to design kayaks I want, then worry about other people later. This is not a good way to operate a business.

If someone were to design a kayak for big people, how big should it be designed for. What is a good target displacement. I know of some 350 lbs paddlers, but for most big guys, that would probably be too big. Rob suggest a total displacement of 300-380 lbs. Is this a good range?
