I would recomend only 3 boats for a guy that size. especially for a first kayak.

Malibu X-factor (be carefull of the back hatch if you have a larger bait tank)
Cobra Fish N' Dive
Ocean Kayak Prowler Big Game.

I wouldnt go with anything Narrower than 31 inches for a guy weighing 300lbs. The higher you sit out of the water, the more tippy your kayak will be. So if your a guy that size and that tall, your probebly all Torso and have short legs.

I can see if your around 260, You can get away with going with a narrower(but longer) Kayak. But at 300lbs your pushing your limit. Any one of those 3 kayaks mentioned would definately work.
