6'1 and 250 here on the Revo, my favorite yack so far. Its plenty capacity for me and a full load of gear either live bait fishing (with 7gal hobie tank) or hooping with 5 nets. At 6'4" you're going to need to use the last position on the pedals (7). The hobie pedals have a habit of rubbing the side of the deck near the full-forward position when in position 7, but removing the foot straps and cutting off the strap peg on the side solves the problem. I myself use position 6 most of the time (more leverage and power) but occasional use 7 when slow trolling, its less fatigue.
I switched to pedal because of pain and tingling associated with paddling, I was concerned that the Revo would not be enough capacity for me and my gear - but after demoing, it was a non-issue. Its about the same stability as any other 14-16 foot yak out there.
Good luck with your decision.. you should go out and demo one (again) and see. I highly recommend the turbo fins, sailing rudder and the comfort seat pad!
