Re: Wtb creek boat for wife.
I'm guessing that would put her paddler weight in the neighborhood of 125 - 130 when you factor in weight of clothing (wetsuit/drytop or drysuit/liner , etc.), helmet, life jacket, spray skirt, throw rope, lunch & other gear she would be carrying in the boat with her. In the past I've bought boats where I was at the top of the weight range & failed to factor in my total paddler weight. It's surprising to me how much difference 10 to 15 pounds can make in how a boat handles.
I've got a Nomad 8.1 for sale that should provide someone in her paddling weight range with plenty of volume when running the steeps.
