Which Models for a person of my size?

Hello,

I'm in the final stages of building a CLC Chessie and I'm planing on building a stripper this fall or winter.

I'm 6'3" 210 lbs and have size 13 feet. From a size standpoint, am I limited to which Guillimot-designs I can build (obviously the little auk is out! ;-) )? At this point I'm thinking Great Auk, Razor-billed Auk or Night Heron; but I'm still considering the other models. I plan on using the kayak for day-paddling and some short trips. Finally, anyone out there with a guillimot kayak within 1-2 hours of Toledo, Ohio that wouldn't mind letting me see their kayak so I have a better idea what the finished product looks like?

Thanks,

Barry
