Dutchman

Jeff - Thanks for the quick response. If you could still give me the width & weight of the 12' Messabouts, I would appreciate it. Any opinion on which of your boats is best for a larger paddler? Looks like you have a great product and hope I can make something work.

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like I should be considering the Messabouts to accommodate easier entry and exit. What is the width and approximate weight of the 12' version? I was also wondering if Kudzu might be displaying at the Michigan Quiet Water Symposium or the Canoecopia event in Madison, WI next month? It would be nice to see the kayaks in person.

I had been looking at building a stitch & glue until I came across the Kudzu SOF website and am quite interested in building a SOF kayak. I am 6'-3", 220 lbs and 66 years old. The Curlew looks interesting but not sure it will fit me and my size 13 feet. I also would like to be able to pull my legs out while seated and wondered if the cockpit can be lengthened to about 42". (I had a chance to sit in a Pygmy Pinguino 145 with a 36" cockpit and could not get my legs out.) Thanks for any input.
