good creek boats for big dudes on a budget! 13 years 11 months ago #30949

I've kayaked recreationally for a long time, but just moved to an area with some cool creeks and am looking for a more serious whitewater boat. I'm 6'3, 270 and am looking for a boat with ample leg room and that can carry my weight. After checking out the specs i think the Jefe Grande is my dream boat, but i don't have the scratch to drop on one at the moment. Any recommendations for a big creek boat from years past that i could find used in the 3 to 4 hundred dollar price range?

I'm not as tall but just as heavy. I recently bought a large Burn and it supports my weight fine. There are great deals on used boats if you really take the time to search online. I spent 8 months researching before I finally pulled the trigger.

Dagger - Mamba 8.5
Pyranha - Burn L or Everest
Jackson - Super Hero or Mega Rocker
LL - Jefe Grande or Remix 79

These are the "big boy boats" that I was looking for.

Good luck and keep us posted
