hey im looking to get myself a playboat.

ive been looking at a Dagger ID 6.9 or a bliss-stick RAD 185
im fairly new to kayaking but getting into it in a big way

can someone advise me on which i should go for
my weight is 11.5 stone (161lbs) the ID's max paddlers weight is 175lbs and the bliss stick's minimum is 145lbs
would it be better to be close to the max weight or minimum weight?

also if you can think of a playboat that would suit me better in the same price range (2nd hand,aprox 300 euro) please let me know

thanks for the advice in advance

Also how come on playak you registered as living in the US and on irishfreestyle your registered as living in Ireland? Slightly confusing and misleading for the irish half anyway.
