Liquid Logic Manta Ray 14
Take a look at the Manta Ray 14 SOT. Its a real performer. Big dry hatch up front. 2 small hatches. Large cargo area behind the seat. Aaaand, I’m 6’2" with at least 6" of space beyond my feet in the footwells. It handles my 300 pounds with ease, so you should have plenty of carrying power for cargo.

I second the Impex Assateague
I am a larger weight guy than you are, and I love my Impex Assateague.



I went thru 4 kayaks, over as many seasons, before I found out how great this one is for me, and I am in my 3rd season with it right now.



Don’t buy one before you test paddle one of these.
