I purchased my classic jackson 4fun from the NOC sale in late october of 06. It is the first boat i have ever owned. Although i may be a little light for good play in the 4fun (maybe a 2fun would suit me better) it is a great river runner. i love the boat and dont regret the decision at all, the jackson website suggests you be 185-225 for this boat, but suggests that its an excellent river runner for the tall and skinny people like myself. its extremely easy to roll, or at least it didnt take me long at all to learn to roll it. it would be a great playboat for someone who would fill the boat better, as i can almost do bowstalls and easily flat spin the boat. hope this helps your decision
