Call KFS, they'll tell you all you need to know. I don't think there's any shortage of overweight fishermen, so don't worry about people busting your stones a little.

Plus the bayliner comment was pretty funny.

Avoid the Tarpon 140. It tends to ride low. I'm 220 and get about an inch of water.

One thing though, regarless of body weight, you will need to be in decent shape to kayak safely. I'm pretty fit, but I've had the wind pick up and shift away from the truck, and really struggled to make it back agianst wind and chop.

You may want to ask about the Hobie.
