Drew might be 160 soaking wet :D

The same seat (minus the pockets) is on the Coosa. It is like a camp chair.  The high seat position makes it easy to stand too; unlike most yaks, which it is difficult to stand from such a low position. I like mine.  ;D

Evan at 160 he's doing some very impressive stuff for a 30" boat. It's rated for 475 pounds and it's supposed to be a fast boat.  :o

Bfish do you find standing up in the Coosa to be tippy?

I am 230 lb and have no issue standing (other than needing a pull rope to get up, but I think that is more related to my knee).  No issues with casting in flat but moving water.  I regular turn my feet sideways and twist my upper body to get in a few more cast. In choppy riffle water I seat down as I don't fully trust myself to pay attention rather than fish.

That said, I have paddled whitewater for quite a few years, and been fishing out of canoes/kayaks for even longer.

I definitely don't doubt the stability on either of these boats, I am only saying to the in-experience kayak paddler, they are not a jon boat and in order to stand from a seated position and cast a fly rod and be able to balance and fish and to sit back down is a balancing act which will take some practice. I like them a lot!!

FYI: I know of a used Coosa for $650 and I don't think it will be for sale very long.

That is a pretty sweet ride. I like the fact it has ways to store rods while using one or paddling.

The Cuda does look good and I wanted to take one to the Gulf to try out for a week, but nobody would assist me. So I took something a little better in my opinion a "Hobie Pro Angler".

I covered up to 8 miles a day, and handled swells up to 2.5-3', with water rushing over the front and waves coming over the sides. I was also able to handle this shark standing up, and had doubles for a few minutes until my 60lb leader was wasted.

Damn, that is a nice boat. I didn't realize you could stand in the Hobie. Shark fishing is hella fun, nice work!
