Thanks for the opinions guys, maybe Ill wait till something a little larger comes along. Any suggestions for a good boat for a guy my size to learn play boating skills that I won't outgrow too fast?

Looking at a Novacraft Ocoee, I'm worried that I might exceed the optimal weight range for this boat at 240. I'm not new to the sport but I'm new to this type of canoe. I would appreciate any advice I could get before I drop the money on this.
Thanks,

Well maybe a damp hatch, it certainly ships less water than the Axis. Has always stayed bone dry on many Buffalo and Mulberry runs. I figure the roll clinic was a pretty extreme test.

I've been paddling an XP-10 for about a year. I've read posts that list complaints about the hatch leaking. This hasn't been an issue for me at all, even after a two hour pool session in which I seemed to spend more time upside down than right side up, I only had about a cup of water in the hatch. T...

Would like to say thanks for the patient instruction and help Saturday, think I've got a good idea of what I'm "supposed" to be doing. Hopefully none of you will run the other way when you see me coming next time!

Hi All,
I'm a new member and new kayak owner, are the roll sessions open to newbies such as myself, or do I need to develop some skills before being able to participate.
Thanks,
