Hey Joe. For my two cents the Marstom would be the package for you. It'll carry your weight and you can order the factory spin package. It is a tough, strong and fast boat, known for it's build quality. If you can get in touch with Dave C ask him how Brett M. is doing with his Marstrom with spin. The only thing you won't have is wave piercing bows. The only way around that is the DK-17 but then you have plenty to work out to do the spin right I would think. I too lust for a spin but will not go there with my Flyer. Ed
