As another big paddler (6'4" 240), it took me awhile to find the right boat. Once I did though, I was in love. Holds a line really well and very responsive for such a big boat and roughly 25% faster than my old plastic boat of the same length. Haven't rolled it much, but the water-tight compartments are well sealed and spacious enough for two tents, two sleeping bags and a bunch of food. My only complaint would be that my knee position is such that my hips start to ache after a few hours, but that's about it.
Wonderful boat - very happy with my purchase.
