Off Topic: Expedition Single vs Guillemot "L"

I couldn't post to the 'design' forum, so here I am :)

I'm interested in building the Guillemot Expedition Single, however I have a few concerns:

I am 6'2", Approx 200 LBS, my inseam hasn't been properly measured, but I wear 32" in pants (but where does the waist sit, you ask!) and my feet are exactly 12" (1') bare.

I live in Florida, and I'm looking for a touring sea kayak to build.

I just want to know if I am too large for the Guillemot Expedition Single, and if so, what drawbacks does the Guillemot "L" have over the Guillemot Expedition Single?

Also, while I may normally be paddling in warm water, I want to take this kayak out of state and perhaps into cold water. This means I may be wearing waterproof boots while paddling, just to keep this in mind.

Thanks for all the help!
