ForPlay for a 190 lb. paddler...?
by Mike Mike
Anyone around this weight paddled this boat? How did it perform and do you recommend?
Thanks,
Mike

Forplay
by Dennis Dennis
I've paddled a Forplay c-1 three summers now, and it's a fine fine boat. I'm about 175, and it suits me well.
I'm in Montana, so I'm nearly always wearing some cold-water gear, and that runs my weight up a bit. I'm guessing that at 190 the Forpaly would be a pretty fine playboat. At 175 I'm still a little light for cartwheeling etc. in this boat.
I have mine set up with a seven and one half inch saddle. I would recommend that a 190# paddler keep the seat height to no more than that, preferably even less.
