Broken, There is some bigger A cat guys around. While 230 is going to be a stretch on any single handed cat there is some A cat designs that handle a heaver crew weight. There is a boat designed by Steve Clark and I believe there is a few of these around. Also the Mastrom is suitable for a bigger person and there are a few good ones around for sale a a good price. There is even one with a spin package available in Ft Lauderdale. The A cat class is alive well all over the USA with a great event schedule year round. http://www.usaca.info/
