I don't know about the Guillemot Expedition model. However, I just finished the Guillemot L model and it has plenty of room for me (6'1", 225). A friend of mine who is 6'5" also paddled it and had no trouble getting in or out. When I built this boat, I extended the cockpit front and back by about an inch. The spray skirt still fits fine. I haven't taken it camping yet, but there seems to be plenty of room.

According to the specs, the "L" has a few more pounds design displacement. It's a foot shorter and 2 inches wider, but has basically the same lines.
