help with a playboat

[rvrchik]

I need anyone's advise who might know a good playboat for me to fit into. I am 5'8 and 150 lbs. I have been looking at all the boats in the boat swap and when I find 1 where Im within the weight range of the boat, the person who owns it says they are about 5"3 and there is know way I will fit in it. I already have a creek boat, so I was trying to find a strictly rodeo boat rather than an all around. Does anyone have any suggestions?

i am the same size and had a S6 190 i loved and now have a 420 s/m which is the perfect volume and size for me

Kingpin 6.2

I'm the same height and weigh a tad less. I was advised by several people to go with the 6.2 over the 6.1 as I was on the upper weight range of the smaller size. I just bought this boat on Saturday and absolutely love it. My .02...

I would highly recommend the S6, S6F, 420, and Kingpin. The ZG, EZG, and maybe even the cheaper and older option of the G-Force. I like all of these boats, have paddled some more extensively than others, but thought they were all good playboats. I would say sit in these and pick the one that feels the best as they all come in varying sizes.

Strictly rodeo boats. I'm 5'9-5'10 and 145lbs. Been doing the freestyle thing for >10 years.... With that said.. Any of these boats will get the job done well.

Kingpin 6.2
Crazy 88
Vision 56
Space Cadet
ZG48
Project 52
420
I'd personally stay away from the S6F, S6X etc.

Basically any of the new rodeo boats will do. If there's 3 sizes you want the middle one and if 2 size you want the large one.

Good shopping.
