Sorry not wanting to be downing the kayakyou are selling, the kingpin is a great freestyle boat, but is far from a river runner. Even lees so when someone is not paddling too long.

well the boat has very good volume and would suit a person doin from a river as easy as the boyne to something like the annaghmoe...its bigger than the crazy88 and even more when the covers are on it.

If you get your hands on

If you get your hands on a 

Dagger Nomad 8.5

Wavesport Habitat 80

Riot Magnum 80

Liquidlogic Jefe Grande

 

All 4 of those boats are massive, there is no reason you can't fit into any of them.

Eskimo boat are very tight

Eskimo boat are very tight on the hips and legs.

I'm 6'1" (36" leg) and for rivers I paddle a Riot Magnum 80. I have the seat moved forward and wear river shoes when paddling it ad There is pile of space left inside, I could easily see some one way way taller than me fitting in one of these boats.

 Don't try decide what boats you will and wont fit in because of there overall length, there are loads of other factors the will dictate who much internal space there is.

 

I will be at sluice this weekend if you want to tey my boat for size.
