I'm looking for a small boat for my girl who is about 5'3" 120lbs. I found a wavesport evo in OR but I think it may be a little small. Does anyone around seattle have one we could sit in and possibly get on water(even a pool)?

On the flip side, Does anyone have a boat that might fit her? Ive been looking in the 40-50gal range. Like a fuse or fun or something older. I would love to get her out of my creek boat if I could find something for sale or to borrow a few times. Just want to keep her interested in the sport.

I have a couple RPM's for sale. I also know a guy who has an Evo he might part with. I will look into it. The boat is east of the mountains though.

An EZ wouldn't be bad either, or an EZG

The Evo was an OK boat, but the XXX rocks. $400.00

Frankenstein... $300.00

Prijon Creeker 225 great condition $650.00

Prijon Embudo horrible condition $900.00

Dagger C-1 saddle $100.00

Interesting trades considered.

She can try any of these boats and there's also Skip that she can try, just to see if she likes it.

I appreciate the responses guys but she is looking around the $200 range. If your interested in trade for skis or snowboard gear I could probably work something out.

PM me for details

i used to rock the evo, in plastic and a killer protoype version in composite @ 195 lbs.

the main problem with it is the legs are in a very straight position, the low deck keeps the knees down, but this helps make it easy to roll especially back deck, the hull is is more forgiving and planes out faster than the XXX, which isnt really a good first play boat, too squirrely, grabby edges, but really great for learning long axis moves, and easy to roll

I have a crosslinked(the lower volume version) XXX hull, no seat you can borrow for a while if you want to put a seat in it and have something cheap to paddle. I cant let you have the hull, its for my feeling crazy/goofy C-1 days.
