The X-factor and Stealth boats are both made for heavier loads (I think they both have the same exact hull design, just a different deck layout) so you might find that even the 12 footer is not much easier for you than your current X-F. Have you test paddled one? Maybe a Prowler or some other yak would be better?

I'm not really interested in trading right now, but if you've never paddled an S12 you could come to DP and try out mine to see if it's really what you want.
