Seeking: Expedition Single "cock pit size "

I am interested in the Guillemot Expedition Single (GES), however I am a
larger paddler 5' 11" 228 lbs.
Curently own a sit-on-top "Tarpon" Wilderness System Kayak. Paddling
every weekend in Southern Calif.Corona Del Mar - Laguna ...4-10 miles each day.

* My size and shape are a factor in the size and shape of the Kayak...
What is the demensions of the cockpit?
* Is there anyone out there my size and paddling a GES
* Do you know anyone in the Southen Calif. area that has built the
GES, that I may talk to and possibly view in person ?

Please advise.

I will purchase a kit and have been looking at the Pygmy "Artic Tern
HP" , but I like the looks of the GES best of all.
No matter how beautifull it is, it will not do me any good if I do not
fit the Kayak well.
