Strip: High Deck Kayak

Hi All, getting ready to build a new yak, either a Night Heron high deck or a Outer Island(high deck if there is one). My first boat
which I finished spring 2010 is a Night Heron low deck and I seem to have trouble getting in, my bio is 5' 8" 170 Lbs. size 11
shoe and 82 years old and my question is, is the low deck trouble for most paddlers. I have read somewhere that the low deck
was much more favored by paddlers so if my problem is age connected I will work on that. Thanks. Nick R.
