I am in the market for a touring kayak for myself but am having a hard time finding a nice touring kayak!! I'm not looking for a sit down one but one that encloses my legs and body. I am around 6'3" and weight around 250, does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you

i was 240 6'3" when i bought my 14-6 Perception Carolina. that thing cuts through 2 ft waves with no problem and the rudder helps. i kayak Delaware bay with it.

The Wilderness Systems Tsunami 145 (http://www.kayakreview.org/go/tsunami145/) is a popular choice for bigger paddlers.

I am 250 at 5'11" and have no problems with my Tsunami 145. I think you would fit.
