: So I am going to take the advice of those on this forum and splurge
: on a relatively good quality $100 sprayskirt. I was looking at
: the sealsshocker, seems right, but what size should I order? My
: coaming is 18" x 30", waist size 34". Snapdragon
: too, or any other brand, I really don't care, I just need one
: that seals nicely so I can start rolling :-)

: What has worked for you?

I've been using the Shocker for several years with success. 18x30 is the inside or outside size of your coaming? My Gentry Disko Bay has a coaming with an outside size of 18x32 or about 15x29 inside. I'm using the 1.4 Shocker and it's pretty tight. My waist is 34 and I have the large tunnel. With a drysuit, it's pretty snug.

Does this help,

Sean
