Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on Monstar vs Fluid Flirt Large for someone who is 230-235 lbs?
Thanks

I haven't paddled the Monstar but have a lg Flirt. I like it a lot, but at 190lbs I feel it has a bit too much volume for me for serious play, so it might be pretty good for you
Where are you located? Might find some locals with boats to try?

Thanks, Mikey. There is a local shop that had a kayak version I was thinking of buying. They would probably let me try it out, but it would have to be converted to really tell. Might have to roll the dice I guess, see how it works out. That or the Monstar. It would be cool to have something that runs Class III-IV and is fun to paddle.

I paddled a large Flirt for a few years at 190 lbs. I'm not much of a play boater.
The boat was very stable to the point of being hard to roll.
