Here are some questions I havn't been submitted in the past month or so.
[i]
1) "What are the things to look for when purchasing an OC1 outrigger canoe?"
&
2) "so what is the best boat for a taller guy around 6'3, 240?"
[/i]
1) If you're looking to buy a used boat you want to check it over for damage. Carefully look over the entire canoe for soft spots, creases, & small cracks that could lead to further damage or leaking. Also I wouldn't buy a really heavy boat, but make sure it's strong. As for what make or brand? try them all and see what you like.
2) I really don't know on that one, I'm not that tall. You might try a polaris, or stingray. See if you can try a couple of boats before you buy, because confort and the seating style can be very important. I think this was already asked. See: [url]http://www.ocpaddler.com/article40.html[/url]
