Beginner help? 17 years 8 months ago #17070

Hey all, I'm new to kayaking.. yeah.. I know... you hear that a lot.. but could use some advice. I'm 5'10\", 200# and am leaning towards one of these two boats rt now... either a Necky Jive or a Liquid Logic Hoss. Both are used, but was wondering what everyone's opinions are on either of these two as a beginner boat.

My main Kayaking will be at the new NWWC in Charlotte, NC. It's a fully functional white water course made for Olympic training.

Also looking at a Pyranha Prozone 235, but think it's more than I want to chunk down for a beginner boat.

Any help/info would be appreciated!

I would consider the Hoss more than the Jive. Personally i am a big fan of the diesel 75 which i am about the same height and weight.
