How strong are they? the difference between the 59 and the 69 to paddle will be affected more by their ability to develop power to move the boat than any other factor... and the 47 will probably be too narrow to make a confidence inspiring c1.

I have 145 lb, the 59 was to tippy for me so I changed for the 69. But with 50 lb less i guess the 59 should be ok.

I am 6' 1 185 and have a 69, i would think the 59 is way too big for somewhat that tiny. Maybe a MAmba-small one as I know a female butt boater who must weigh about 105.

An equally important question in my mind is how comfortable is the cross for a small person in a 69. The narrower boat may "fit" better all around.
