Hey Dan,

Like the stealth line up but I am confused at their measuring system on your site.

the 575 is 5.75m x 0.605m

but the Splash is 16.40' x 2.26' 16 feet and .40 inch? x 24.26 inches?

Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks

Splash 550 is advertised as 5.5meters. 

5.5m X 3 feet per meter = 16 1/2 feet = 16 feet, 6 inches. 

Because they are imported from South Africa, customs trims down the kayak one inch to 16.4 feet = 16 ft, 5 inches. So your government is taking 1" of kayak length away from you.

Yeah, those numbers on the website are wack.

The Splash 550 is 5.5 meters by 0.64 meters
or 18 feet by 25 inches and it weighs 25kg or 55lbs.

Hope that helps,

It was confusing as hell as half  the boats on the first row were metric, and the rest were english, but not a very standard form of english for kayaks.
