FWIW my son sells kayaks for Spring Creek and his chosen favorite is a Wilderness Pungo.  He has also taken one on some of our week long camping/paddling trips which included some portaging.

I think you would want at least a 14 foot model, you will find 12 is too small for your body size.


Thanks for all the replies, it helped. I followed the above advice and got the wilderness pungo 140 (used for $550).
