You should fit in that boat without any problem. I am not sure that any playboat is \"without pain\", but the large Flirt should give you as much or more room than anything out there. I am 6'4, 245, 34\" inseam, Size 13 flippers and am pretty comfortable in this boat. I have a friend about your size that claims that the boat is just too big and roomy, but he likes to nearly sink his boats. As always, I would recommend that you try before you buy, but for me, the large Flirt was more comfortable than anything else out there. It has been a great boat so far for me (mostly III-IV beginner/intermediate playboating)

Check out this article:

Scroll down to about half way. You'll see a dude in a red Fluid Flirt large. He is about your height and weight I reckon. Pretty tall.. He fits in no worries. And also demonstrates some creeking in a playboat. Very popular in South Africa a few years ago and still carrying on although people are moving towards creek boats more and more. He's the dude in the bottom picture on the right, Hugh du Preez. If you're an old school boater you'll remember him from the Ottawa River. Used to guide there many moons ago. :grin:

Good boat, loads of room. At about 6 foot I have plenty room and my feet don't even touch the front. Mate of mine a touch smaller than me and a little lighter paddles the large. He's pretty happy with it. Here are some more pic's of the boat in action, also a red one:

Loads of pic's. Just look out for Luke Longridge, him in the large Flirt.

By the way, Fluid has radically improved their outfitting. The outfitting is lighter, as are the boats. You should check it out. Quite nice now. Good luck and have FUN! L8er
