Prowler 13 ???

 A friend of a friend, has a OK P 13 that he needs to sell for health reasons. He only used it twice. 
 He said that if I could come up with $450 cash I could have it. That seems like a good deal to me.
 I have never paddled this boat before, I am 6 ft 270 pounds is that pushing it for this boat. Your opinions please

It probably already depends on what you're planning on doing with it. Rivers and lakes ? Rockfishing ? Crabbing ? I'm a little taller and a little heavier than you and the legroom is not an issue at all.

Assuming everything on the boat checks out, thats a great price for a great boat. Any way that you can borrow it for a few hours and take it for a paddle ? Only one way to tell if it fits your body and paddling style.

Great boat, should have no problems with your height and weight.

Buy it!

I think that is a great yak at a good price if there are no issues with it. height/weight should not be an issue. as the weight limit is 400-450 pounds.

One of the best ever made.  heres a couple with an EXTRA 450 pounds on each:

Sweet pic bushy! If that doesn't do the yaks justice in terms of strength, I don't know what will!!!

I'd try it out first.   Your height and weight to me sound like a better fit in a 15.

My first yak and only yak. Im not as big as you but have paddled many kayaks. Best one iMO I have had it for seven years.

13 actually has more leg room than the 15.  In shark pic above 2d from right is Howard McKim.  He is like 6'8" tall.  He doesn't fit a 15, but he fits the 13.  that's why we were using 13's for that trip.

Oh shit with that avatar I thought it was Darius claiming P13 as the one and only.  I was about to call "Pants on Fire!"

At 270, the P13 is going to have wet footwells.  It does for me at 225#.

He put in his yard sale and got $575 for it .

Dam!

Thank you for the input guys

I almost told you just to buy it too! It was a no lose situation at that price.
