Jackson cuda, Coosa, or the hobies.
If you know of an old Dagger Bayou 2 tandem kayak I am interested.

The WS Ride 135 would probably be a better boat, especially if you want to go BTB, but the 115 could do it on occasion. Ok Drifter or Big Game, Cobra FnD, or Malibu X-Factor or Stealth(probably over $1,000). The Hobies and Jackson kayaks are nice, but easily over $1,000.

I had the same issue I'm 6'4" 250 and I went with an ocean kayak trident 13 and I LOVE it. The OK big game or ride 135 would be my next choices. The xfactor does look pretty sweet too.

Big game. Fishndive. X-factor, pro angler, and maybe the big tuna I believe the Fishndive & biggame are within ur budget. The Fishndive handles the best during re-entry

There are lot of kayaks that fit your description. My advise is to try demo the diffrent brands and see what brand for you. Mariner Sails will let you take kayaks out to see the difference. I have a Pro Amgler and love it. The Outback will also do what you need very well. If I can help in way please pm me.

no offense D but the diablos are pretty flat in the nose. this is not ideal for btb. could be wrong but the last time i checked the weight capacity wasnt too high with em. think bogfoot is looking for a big boy yak. not sure on the price but i thought the diablos were over $1000 also?
