FWIW
I just called the number listed on their web page
to thank them for sponsoring a NCKA member/Kris and let them know the thread here is getting many comments and interest

And to find out if they would have time to discuss kayak sizing etc with me,hoping for a call later---as my yaks wont last forever and spending my kayak money locally with a supporter of our site and members is what I want in my next kayak..

need to see if the make anything that will fit tall fat guys  :smt001

Awesome!

Craig, the Raptor is a great boat and you should totally demo it and see how it fits you...I used one for several months a couple of years ago and thought it made a great dive platform and I really enjoyed paddling and diving off of it!

I did feel like I was kinda towards the max weight on it with my weight belt and full load of abs/uni/fish, but never to the point where I felt performance was compromised....but I am sure Jim Baitman can answer all your questions!

Sincerely,

Jim
