hey guys.. im new to squirt boating..i was just wondering.. im about 204 lbs... is that too much for the full cut acrobat c1 ?..any help would be great!
Whether you fit or not is!
Also, what do you want to do with it? A medium-cut Acrobat I can use as a river runner (at 165lbs). Those with *a bit* more weight could use it as a true squirt boat. I'm not sure if it would quite be a destination downtime machine, though.
So, for stern and bow squirts, you should be fine with a full cut acro. You could most likely mystery it as well, though it might not be a real sinker.
One thing to rememeber with Acrobats-there are two different factors-1) Standard or Master cut (Master is shorter, Standard is the "normal" 11+ feet), and then the cut for the paddler (mine is actually medium cut (standard) for 165. I also have a boat low cut (master) for 175. COMPLETELY different-acting boat.
Good luck regardless! The Acrobat is a GREAT boat.
