and Aquanaut LV (composite). I would suggest the 'naut LV for your use, based on your personal specs you are going to find the 'regular' Aquanaut a bit roomy.

Fwiw, I go 5' 9" and about 155.

I have also paddled the Tempest 165 poly and the Aquanaut LV in poly. Both the Tempest Pro (composite) and poly are for all practical purposes identical in size, but have different hatch covers. Not so with the Aquanaut LV. You will find the poly version to have more beam and carry more volume.
