I wasn't trying to be a SA, that info has to come from the plans. There is no other way to figure it out.

The paddler's weight is by far the biggest moment a kayak is subject to, have that weight in the wrong place and the kayak won't perform at all and/or could be dangerous. Either the info is on the plans or in the builder's guide, gotta be there. Sometimes these details take some hunting to find, but it's gotta be there.
