I just got a pro angler 14... its a monster! I love the thing. Im 6'2 only 195lbs, but I can walk to the front and basically stand on the tip of it. I wouldn't try it with a bunch of gear on board, but its stable enough to do so!

Bonafide SS127. I'm 5'10" x 255. Got side ways in a rapid when I first started paddling and almost fell out of the boat but it didn't tip. You would have to work hard to tip that boat over. Great fishing platform and the seat is outstanding. I bought the boat because of the seat and as a big guy, believe me that's important.

Great options. The bass Hunters are the best of class in these types of boats. BUT you are limited by your battery in these. Kayaks are not limited. The Jackson Big Rig is great for big guys. As is the Big Tuna. The Hobie PA 14 is a beast. I am 6'4 and 230 and the Old Town Predator PDL works very well for me. Its not quite as stable as the Big Rig I had was, but its super close and the pedal drive is a game changer. Good luck in your quest!

New to the forum, first post. I am/was a bigger guy. Flipped a Sea Ghost in a lake, sold it, bought a Jackson Big Rig pedal unit. She is a wide one, close to 40". The Sea Ghost was about 31" wide.
