...Any ideas out there
: for a happy medium between eoungh volume for a big fella, but
: also a bit sleek and testy?

Lots of great ideas, and the Yost boats should go together fairly quickly. Another idea is to get Christopher Cunningham's book "Building the Greenland Kayak : A Manual for Its Contruction and Use" and use your body measurements to design/build a kayak to fit you. Amazon link below:
