Big Guys and the Night Heron

I'd be pleased to hear comments about the fit and paddling characteristics of the Night Heron ... especially if you're a big guy. I'm 6'2" ... 225# ... size 10-1/2 shoes and I can still slip into a 16 inch cockpit. I've narrowed down my choices to the Night Heron or Outer Island ... well ... at least before I change my mind again! My passion is performing sculling high braces (side sculling) ...
