Just curious - Pyranha ReCoil Large / Pyranha Burn Small

I understand that the burn would be much better at creeking and river running than the ReCoil, so i guess my question is how is the ReCoil at boofing? I weigh 200 lb, so theres more than enough volume to keep me above the water with the Large ReCoil.
Pros Cons, Suggestions?

Hmm, at 200 lbs, I would definately not go for the small. For riverrunning/creeking, your better of being somewhere in the middle of the boats suggested weight range.
