In Response To: How's the leg and foot room? (Brian Nystrom)

: I've paddled a couple CH17LT's and they're very stable and pretty roomy (the
: standard CH 17 is cavernous inside). I'm curious if you think the Patuxent
: 17.5 will accommodate size 11 feet and long, but thin legs?

Well, I have size 11 feet and I fit in my Pat 17.5 but just barely. I weigh 175 and love the boat. My other boat is an Eddyline Sea Star, super stable and a real cargo hauler so the initial stability issue showed up right away. I am getting rid of the stock seat also but I haven't decided on its replacement. At my weight I don't need any ballast for tracking.
