Stomper.

good shape. bulkhead and attachment point for thigh straps, but no straps. blue. $150.

the stomper has a ROUND hull... thats what a displacement hull is, unless im sorely mistaken.

The stomper ha a full on displacement hull, and I'm pretty sure the everest is the same.

Werner. That is all. I love my bandit- now that in seriously open boating, I'll probably get a mitchell, but the bandits are great and pretty cheap.

a good rule of thumb is if you set the paddle on top of your toes it should reach the bottom of your chin. probably a 58 for you, maybe a 60, 52 for your wife. your son will be able to use the 52, if he gets serious get him a 52 or 54 until he's tall enough to switch to 56 or 58. im 5'8 and use a 56...
