Yeah...I've read that. Just go with common sense and what works. There are facts and figures to back up every opinion in existance If you lack experience just ask people on this, and other forums...as you have done. You'll get a lot of good advice, but you will be the one to make the final decision. Try out as many as you can...then take the plunge. As for the anthropometric measurements...I'm 5'8" 200lbs. 30 years ago I was 5'8" 200lbs...though shaped just a tad different. My stepson is 6'7" and 320...quite a difference. What kind of bargiyak do I build him...not that he would get in a kayak. Again...this is just me spouting off. Doesn't mean I'm right or wrong...just been around long enough to have an opinion on anything. Hmm...where is that guy named George (can't remember the last name) when we need an opinion?
