: I am 6'1" 200 with a size 13 foot. I get knocked out of choosing a lot
: of the designs due to a low deck height. I love the Disko Bay and am
: leaning that direction but I'm not sure if my flippers will fit
: comfortably inside.

You can build the big volume one and then raise the forward deck, I did. The standard deck will fit maybe a size 10 without shoes of any kind. I'm 6' and wear a size 10 and raised the foredeck an inch, you'll need a little more. Not real hard to do btw.

I would also recommend that boat, great design, fun to paddle.

Maybe Rob will chime in on this? If not call him, he's very friendly and helpful.
