choosing a kayak for a big man 330 lbs 6"3" - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The X-Factor is the longest of all the 'big man' kayaks. It may not turn quite as fast as one of the shorter kayaks, but it is faster and tracks better. As I don't run slalom courses that often, I prefer the X-Factor. If you install a rudder kit you'll be able to turn it even better.

Don't bag on the Drifter

Came with a built in bait tank

I'm 6'6'' 260# and the OK Big Game and Malibu X-Factor are the most comfortable for me and very stable.

Yeah. Drifters were great for that. The macs didn't seem to mind sharing the bathtub.
