Height, weight, and inseam used as a starting point would be an important way to narrow down the list of Yaks. Check out the NEKF or KFS websites to gather information. If it's made someone on those sites will own one.
Try out a bunch and take notice of initial and secondary "balance" to see how comfortable you are. I have a prowler 15 angler, at 6' 180lbs. it is more than stable enough for me and the leg room ispretty good.

Best advice that I've had and given is to try before you buy!

In fact, it's best to paddle several and then buy! What looks good in an add or for someone else amy not work at all for you.
