I'm 6'1" tall, and weigh 195#. I cannot find anything about Necky's weight capacity, so I'm wondering if this boat would perform all right for me. I'm also considering the Manitou 13, but would prefer a little bit smaller boat. Any advice?

Hey, I've got a Manitou Sport and I love this yak. It tracks well and is very easy to paddle. I'm 5'10"/ 190 and I don't have any issues. I typically stick to lakes and local rivers and it works like a champ for me. I noticed, as well, that there's no weight limit set anywhere for this yak but I've got 5 other yaks and generally yaks of this size have a capacity of 300-350 lbs. I usually just pack a cooler and some other essentials for my day trips (no more than 10 lbs) and I'm set. I hope this helps...
