The longer paddle kayaks are going to have more glide, but your decision may be based on storage. Are you in an apt, or house with a garage?

I am about your size, but plus 20lbs.

Again, not saying Xfactor, or FnD would not be a great fishing platform.

At your size, I'd look at:

prowler 13,15 or trident

malibu Pro explorer, X-13, stealth 14

tarpon 120, 140 or 160

cobra marauder, navigator, tourer

maybe Josh, Nate, will b., Rooster, Steveooo can recommend a Hobie, I havent peddled any.
