Big, Modern Playboats?

[TheKrikkitWars]

So the workload from my course has finally dropped off toward the end, the sun has come out and the orbiting bodies are all aligned*; So I've been paddling more times in the last 7 days than I did in the previous 6 months...

I've concluded several things one is that I was clearly very down about my own playboating skills before I kind of abruptly stopped canoeing... Two is that having gained 15kg (about 33lb) and only an inch on my waist, I should probably stop kidding myself that my Crazy 88 is still the best boat for me.

Anyway, getting to the point; has anyone got experience of converting the largest sized examples of the current crop of playboats (or any other reasonably modern ones) I'm thinking specifically about the Jitsu 6.0, Large Jed [eye] and also possibly the larger size of the Titan Kayaks playboat; but all info is good info.

I've converted a Project x 64,large volume but,but feels smaller in the current. Stable,very forgiving,large cockpit, easy to convert with the fence rail system.I paddle it on class II +,pretty fun.On a wave,super,I mean super fast.I seem to be behind it a bit but I hope to catch up with this year.All in all,love it and it'll help progress my river running skills immensely, which is the real reason behind getting it.

Highly recommended.

Hope it helps a little bit.

Interesting stuff... I weigh 210lbs so that may actually put the Large Jed out of the running, if people at 175lbs think it's the right boat for them...
