Hi Todd
The Chuckanut 15 would be ideal for your dad's size and usage, I'd say - a comfortable, 6' long cockpit, and considerably wider and more stable than anything else available in SOF.
Check it out here: www.GentryCustomBoats.com

And, there's no need to wait a year to finish another kayak - you could build several SOF boats in the next couple of months! Check out easy to build designs by me, Jeff (Kudzucraft.com), or Tom Yost (yostwerks.com).

Good luck!
