probably the best bet...
Posted by: NewbTastic on Oct-03-12 7:57 AM (EST)

...for you among TR "play n' day" boats is going to be the Xcite.
KayakAcademy says it best fits ppl up to about 6'3" and 240 lbs.

The Xtra and Xtreme seem meant for paddlers a bit smaller/lighter than that.

The Xplore-X and Xcape-X are for REALLY big paddlers, but are also lower-rocker touring/expedition boats, i.e. not what you said you wanted.

I'm sure some others will chime in here.
