: Hi Bill,
: The Sea Bee was at the top of my list based on it's short length.
: But, will a guy like me fit (6'2", size 11.5 feet, 205
: lbs)? I did some measurements while sitting with my back to a
: wall and it looks like my legs will fit before hitting the
: station in front of my feet with a couple of inches to spare.

: Cheers,
: Bryan

I'm 6', size 10.5 feet and have run about your weight before and I fit easily with extra room.

I make the frame in front of the cockpit on the top part (holds the front end of the coaming) laminated to give more leg room, but I fit in the original fine too. Have built a couple in my building classes.
