I am 6’3 190 with size 12 feet could anyone of comparable size tell me if I would be a fit for the tempest 170?
T170
I would DEFINITELY demo the boat, as there are sooooo many idiosyncratic fit issues. Having said that, I believe you would likely be a perfect fit, as I know others in your size range that love the fitof the boat. At 225lbs and 5’10" I had a poly T170…loved the fit…a tad snug for me but I like it that way.
I liked the fit/feel of the composite cockpit more than the poly…again…individual differences. I have size 12 dogs, but then again your feet will be closer to the bow than mine…demo the boat.
If you ever get a chance to demo a strip-built boat, the Redfish King…check it out…would be a perfect fit for you. I am building one, and know of many folks your size who find it a perfect fit and an extraordinary boat to paddle.
btw…depending upon how you are built…you might also want to demo a T165. I couldn’t fit in comfortably, but you might.
Demo…demo…demo…and enjoy.
