I'm 5' 9" and just shy of 250. Whenever I travel up to Nor Cal to fish the Sonoma Coast with my buddy from NCKA, I use either his Wilderness Systems Ride 135 or a Jackson Cuda 14. Both are very stable boats. The Jackson Big Rig looks super stable but will be slower. I'm waiting for Wilderness Systems new Threasher 155 to come out so I can take a demo ride on it.

Lots of guys your size paddling Malibu Xfactors and Wilderness Ride 135's.

Come to OEX and demo some boats, that is the only way to know how you will truly feel in the kayaks.
