QCC 600XL

Advice
#1

There is a used one about 90 minutes from me, and I have a few questions about whether I should bother to have a look at it…

  1. What is the difference between a 600X and a 600XL?
  2. I posted a question a couple months ago about how uncomfortably narrow the seat was on my Solstice SS. Someone said the seat on the 700X, while nearly identical dimensions to the Solstice SS, had a broader seat. Does it? Does the 600XL also have a broader seat?
  3. My other complaint about the Solstice SS was getting in and out of it. The 600XL cockpit is 1" longer. Is that going to make much difference? I don’t know, maybe the seat is back an inch or something.
  4. I am rather heavier (like 30 pounds) than the recommended size; but don’t plan on ever carrying significant gear. Any big problems? I suppose I was way overweight for the Solstice as well, but except for my complains above, it was fine.
  5. It has no rudder and I would like one. Is installing it a big problem?



    Thanks much

of cockpit opening and ease of entry also depends on the height of cockpit / combing opening. There are high volume Current Designs kayaks also. Current Designs also offer a wide base seat which is wider although combing size is the same it helps and I converted all my CD boats to them. QCC decks seem to look lower than Solstice check the specs of both.

rudder

will take time and about 200 in parts. Not sure if end of boat is made for a rudder even though it was not option when made but it could be done. Better to find a ruddered boat.
