Hi John -

You might want to check out the Cape Ann HV at www.oneoceankayak.com
Vaclav, the designer of One Ocean Kayak boats is a bigger guy. He designs his boats for paddler size and was spot on in his recommendation of his Cape Ann Storm for me. The Cape Ann is a stripper, but his instructions are excellent, and your parameters sounded like the description of his Cape Ann HV.
