How did you fit into that Tekno? the 49 gal. right? I'm about to buy one and I was concerned I wasn't going to fit. I'm 6' will it be comfy for me? O and I enjoy the Kingpin its a solid boat all around.

the answer ot the fitting problem is that i ttok out the footrests. its loads more comfortable. the boat just moulds around ur feet. and thankls guy ill look out for a kingpin for definate. what kind of price range should i be looking out for for a reasonable condititon kingpin?

In europe a new Kingpin is about € 900, so I think € 500 (max) will be reasonable for a goodlooking second hand.

I wouldnt say 16 Kg was heavy at all, most playboats are around that weight apart from the jacksons.

I think you could fit in the Superstar. I am 6'2ish and I had tons of room. I even fit in the All-Star with room to spare.
