[quote=icon149]I'm 5'9 180 lbs, and single hand my 5.8 regularly on the rappahannock river, occasionally getting out into the Chesapeake bay. I can't comfortably right the boat by myself so i don't push it when i'm solo, I do have a righting bag from the Colorado Bag Company (Ebay) but I've not had a chance to practice with it much. It's on my to do list for this summer. Good news is, I've not capsized the boat much, it is pretty predictable and you can dump the air in a hurry, i'd imagine the 5.7 would be the same way.
I'd go for it, you won't regret it.
oh and just out of curiosity, is it the 5.7 that is for sale in Raleigh? That looks like a great deal, i was wondering where that boat was last year when i bought my 5.8 for twice the money.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by icon149 on Jun 25, 2017 - 05:39 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
