I have just finished a 14’ Auk. My wife has taken possesion, as it was determined by her and others I am to big for this kayak. I am 6’ tall and weight 230#. I did fit in the kayak but sit a little low. I will be starting another strip built soon. My question is since I have limited storage space and 16’ foot will be maxium lenght, Would it be better to shrink a 17’ Auk or extende the 14’ Auk. Thanks for any help.
