Too tall for a Contender?

nope , wick mc ready was way taller than my 6'2" , one thing i did notice though they dont like weight , suprisingly 

In most trapeze boats height helps, its much more effective that a hiking boat at really getting the power down imo.  The downsides comes in manoeuvres when your potentially less agile in the boat.  Try a contender and see how you get on, but if you want to trapeze and find it too cramped you could always try a 600, 700 or a Musto as they are all more generous when it comes to moving around.

Thanks. I guess the important thing is to get in one and try it for size. I always knew that height is a good thing on the wire. More concerned about having to push myself through a letterbox on every tack!

Being 6'1" and having owned 2 previous Contenders - 541 and 651 - I would say go for it, especially if you are the lighter end of the scale for a 6+ footer.
That said, I was the better part of 16 stone when I had mine (13.5 now) and while I was conscious I was too heavy to trap in the light stuff, I came into my own in the heavy
