{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: AE StraighEdge Angler information and sources

Scott,
 
A number of us have this model.  I think it's pretty fantastic but I'm only 5'9", 170lbs so another owner might be able to speak in regards to size.  While my knees aren't titanium, I do have a bum knee and the flexibility of the SOT type kayaks makes it much easier to move around to keep from getting stiff.  It's also great to kneel and cast from that I wouldn't dream of doing from a hard kayak.  It is extremely stable compared to most hard kayaks so I would think the only limiting factor for a taller gentleman such as yourself would be the leg room.  The seat is fixed on velcro to the floor of the kayak so it can be moved forward and back around 6-8" or so.  The event at Riverbend Park may be the ideal place to have a seat in one and try it on for size. 
 
As far as local sources, I contacted REI last week for a few spare parts but they do not carry this particular model and suggested going straight to AE.  I haven't tried West Marine.  Best of luck.
