I am 6'3" @ 230 lbs. I have the Outback and have plenty of room and the stability is great. I have been on with my wife 120 lbs and my son 80 lbs. Thats 430 pounds in San Diego Harbor. It was kind of cramped and didn't move so well but we stayed afloat. That was a one time thing.
I regularly take my 8 year old and 7 year old boys out and the 3 of us fish just fine from it with a combined weight about 320. I have 2 and will buy a couple more when my boys are older.
If you get a chance to test ride one do it.
Either way good luck and welcome to the fun house.
