Thanks
I love my 480. Its the most stable of the stealth line. You sit so low to the water you don't have to worry about stability. I weigh 210 and am a tiny bit under 6' and it's perfect for someone my size or slightly larger. If you live in OC or want to fish Newport hit me up and we can go out a few miles and fish rockfish/bass so you can get a feel for it. Prepared to go faster than you've ever been on a kayak...
