I am considering Sir Francis Bacon's and Goats, am 6'3" - 195 lbs. Side country powder and trees. Like what I'm hearing about float and quickness of SFB's, but am wondering if I'm too big for them. Also, like Goat reviews, but wonder if they are as maneuverable (longer turn radius). Advice appreciated....

You might be on the upper end of the weight/height for the bacons unless you mount at recommended (6cm) back from center or go another 1cm back from there. then they sould be fine with no tip diving. I weigh 175 lbs. and have them at 4cm back from tru center +2 from recommended and they float great there with no dive. go bacon over goats, much quicker ski.
