Big boys, little boats?

Are there any sub-10' open boats currently out there that can accomodate those of us that are over 6'-2" and 210 lbs?

I've read arguments both ways on the Prelude. Are these even still manageable with larger paddlers, or are these guys just full of wishful thinking?

Any large paddlers dancing in a Spanish Fly?

I heard Esquif has a new boat that people seem to like. 8)

This is a recurring topic. The Spanish Fly floats my 215 just fine, but wetter than for a smaller boater. Not sure how height would change that. Check out the L'Edge threads - one is just for you.

I think it would be somewhat easier getting a date with Katy Perry than it would be finding a used Spanish Fly in good condition.
