"I like the looks of both, but, as I'm a "BIG GUY" ( 6'-3" @ 240lbs.) I have been looking for room. "

I didn't read the whole thread to determine whether you're really hooked on doing a "stripper." A friend of mine who's a bit larger than you tried out several brands of S&G boats and found that he was most comfortable with CLC's Chesapeake 18 widened by about an inch.

Good luck
