Hi, I'm new to ww kayaking & the forums. There's a used Wave Sport Mutant for $200 that I can buy. It's a creeker, and I plan to do a mix of heavy rivers & eventually steep creeking and waterfalls. I'm 6'1" and about 180 lbs.

Questions:
1) Would this kayak fit the bill for me? I understand it's a creeker and that I should prob start with a river runner, but for the price of $200, it seems like I should consider it.
2) Am I too big for the boat? The official paddler weight is within my range, but some reviews say it's better for the smaller paddler.

I appreciate your help!
