Trying to make a decision

[EricEde]

I'm trying to choose kayak. I have narrowed it down to a few models. I am 6'4" and 275#, so I am looking at the bigger yaks. The models I have it down to, are the OK Prowler Big Game, OK Prowler Trident 15, Malibu X-factor and Stealth 14. The biggest problem I have, while I can find the OK models to test locally, the closest Malibu dealer is 150 miles away, unless Gander Mountain has provisions for test runs.


Some questions, with the Malibu hull dimensions being identical will they handle alike? How much difference will there in the 2 OK models as far as stability? I don't like the idea of molded foot wells, Trident looks like it has a combination of molded and adjustable pedals.


Any input or suggestions, will be greatly appreciated.
