I, like you am larger than average bear (as yogi bear would say).  I 
have paddled the Aquilla for a SHORT Demo and liked it.  I have also 
had a short ride in the Dagger Sitka - and loved it, I may be looking 
at one again today as a matter of fact, weather permitting.  and I 
have tried a Long time ago the Vally Skerry XL.  I can give you a 
list of boats that you could seriously look at if you are 
interested...

   in the mean time, Try this...  It's Great River Outfitters.  The 
US DISTIBUTOR for Valley Kayaks, they have a list of Dealers on the 
site,
