Re: A 75 lb MC 16.5!

Posted by Larry Price on Sep 7, 2005

Sounds good to me. I'm also building an MC 16.5 but the weight of the paddler is of more concern to me than the weight of the boat. I weigh in at 350 but believe it or not am in fairly good shape. I'm currently losing weight, and being able to get in the kayak is my incentive. I know the MC 16.5 is rated for 400lbs. but does anyone know if this must be spread througout the entire boat? Do you think the hull would hold under a 350 lb. paddler if it were built well. Thanks.
