I would like to build a SOF kayak and think I have narrowed it down to Mess About 15' or Vardo based on more cockpit room, but I don't know enough about designs to choose. I love the concept of this type of boat, but feel I will need room to pull my knees up for periods of time to relieve back strain. What will I be sacrificing by choosing one over the other.....I will be using the boat primarily on lakes & streams. I am 6'+ and 200 lbs+
Thanks for your time!
