The Chessy 18 is big enough for a small family. ;-)

Seriously, it's a VERY big boat with an equally huge carrying capacity. While you're tall, your low weight for your height would result in the boat riding very high and you'll be rattling around in it like a marble in a tin can. One of the smaller boats in the CLC line would probably be a much better choice.
