> Because of weight and price F's Big Kahuna (+rudder +hatches) looks best
to me  but I fear this boat might be too small for my size. Unfortunately
testing  even one of these boats is not yet possible as there is only one
F-dealer here in Vienna, Austria and he doesn't have a used boat available.

They are supposed to have "display" boats, those dealers - not necessarily
used, but hanging at the wall for people to see.  Anyway, if they can't show
K-1 or Kahuna, and you already have Klepper AE II and intend to travel often
to Canada and USA, then why don't delay this decision until you see it
there? Most of Canadian and US Feathercraft dealers normally have these 2
boats on display in store (and sometimes sell discounted "demo" boats).
Anyway, with your weight and height (8' must be some mistake), K-1 is better
for expeditions.
