i just chatted about this with loki:

[2006-03-22 12:55:42] [Loki]: anyone know whether a riot 007 will fit im bout 5.7 and 8 1/2 stone?
[2006-03-22 12:56:40] [Jeroen]: i weigh a lot of potatoes....
[2006-03-22 12:56:47] [Jeroen]: i mean, no idea what a stone is
[2006-03-22 12:56:49] [Jeroen]:
[2006-03-22 13:05:05] [Loki]: lol its about 53kg
[2006-03-22 13:05:28] [Jeroen]: but i am 6 foot and weigh 80+kg and was alweays very comfy in my squashed 007
[2006-03-22 13:05:47] [Jeroen]: should be ok
[2006-03-22 13:06:01] [Loki]: ok thanks and is around £100 a good price for a second hand one?
[2006-03-22 13:06:31] [Jeroen]: if its condition is good, yes
[2006-03-22 13:07:02] [Jeroen]: they are very old boats, and really not up to any modern design standards
[2006-03-22 13:07:14] [Jeroen]: but i had years of fun in my 007
[2006-03-22 13:07:19] [Loki]: one small quater of an inch weild that been tested and certified
[2006-03-22 13:07:28] [Loki]: and thanks
[2006-03-22 13:07:53] [Loki]: im just gettin into whitewater river running ect so nedd a cheap boat
[2006-03-22 13:08:04] [Jeroen]: you can probably still sell it for 50 in 2 years from now
[2006-03-22 13:08:27] [Jeroen]: or even for more than 100 if you're lucky
[2006-03-22 13:08:40] [Jeroen]: can't go wrong really
[2006-03-22 13:08:59] [Loki]: cheers for that
[2006-03-22 13:09:28] [Loki]: now just need to convince my dad he wants tio drive 100 odd miles
[2006-03-22 13:10:27] [Jeroen]: good luck
[2006-03-22 13:11:18] [Loki]: thanks

I just bought one second hand myself, I'm fairly new to the sport, but I'm 5'8\" and about 70 kg and its a pretty good fit on me. If I had to guess I would say that you would be okay in it.
