At ~67kg the GOAT is a little big for me as a half slice (the Rexy is a bit smaller and more playful), but the Billygoat is PERFECT as a creeker and exactly what I was hoping for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you were in between sizes for the two boats and bought a Tuna as the Stout felt too short\/slow, you’ll love the Billygoat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Billy Goat is 268cm in length with a 65 cm width. Weight sits at 20kg with a suggested paddler weight in the 50 to 95kg range. The volume of the Billy Goat is 330 litres. Like the Billy Goat, the Wee Goat is 268cm in length with a 65 cm width. Weight sits at 19.5kg with a suggested paddler weight in the 50 to 95kg range. The volume of the Wee Goat is 260 litres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
