Chatham
 

Hi All -

Anyone know if Necky plans on putting out a Chatham 17?
I know they have a 16 (only 20 inches wide), and an
18 (which might be a wee bit longer than what I wanted).

I heard the 16 was snug (I'm 6', 220lbs)
Also does anyone know the max capacity for either?

Thanks,
TwoK

I just took delivery of a plastic Chatham (16) today. In my research...I
found that Necky doesn't list capacity for any boats. Yes, the Chatham is
snug (I'm 5'10" @185lbs) but it's more about how you carry your size (think
"Cinderella"). The 17 will be out later this summer..but I heard it's still
gonna have a 15" cockpit.. They were retro fitting wider seat hangers for
$15 right from Necky...and I believe they were going to use the wider ones
once the old stock was sold. You also have the option of not using the hip
pads...I'm leaving mine out until I swim upside down in the thing a few
times. BTW..Your going to love the compliments from everyone on it's
looks, no matter which one you end up with...it's one stunning looking
boat!!

Hope this helped

The Chatham 18 is only a foot longer than the Chatham 16.
