Selecting a kayak.

I've never built a boat before, but I am interested in getting started. I've only paddled a kayak 2 times at a local touristic river near my home. I used a rented fiberglass kayak. The river here is very calm with no white water even at it's peak.

Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated..

Drew-

BTW: I'm not a small guy at 6'1'' weighing in at 265.
