There is a Hobie dealer in Dana Harbor, that probably will let you try a small, and bigger kayak so you can compare them.He is right on the water. If you plan on going outside of the bays, you will want the larger size kayak. I'm 63, and weigh 230. I bought my kayak to get in shape, and it's starting to work.I like it so much that I now own two.One is a Malibu Pro 2, it is 13ft. long. I use it to fish with my grandson, the other is a 15ft. Malibu Extreme, that I realy like, because it's faster. I have no problem loading them by myself. In the last 4 years I've had 6 operations on my legs,so you know I'm not in the best of shape, but getting better. Hope to see you out there soon.
