I bought this for my wife. She loves it. I am 6ft 205 lbs. To fit in the cockpit I have to sit on the deck first but once in I love paddling. An extremely fast boat.
Overall construction is excellent and I find it very comfortable. Tracks like an arrow.
I'm 6'0" 205 lbs and I fit in her just bearly. But I agree it is a fun boat to paddle. I am also a midwest paddler but I had the boat in the Apostle Islands on Lake Superior. 35 knot gusting to 40 winds. Boat tracked great. In fact put a bit a weight in her and she doesn't even notice the wind.
