Expedition VS Convertable - for a large angler

[OlySpec]

So I am about 310lbs and really want to start paddling for health as well as for angling.

The Expedition has the capacity and fits my budget and from all the reading I have done, will serve me well to fish from. T

he Convertable is a bit more spendy, but it looks like I might fit it better.

I wear a size 48 waist pant and wonder if I will have any problems squeezing in to the Expedition. If I have to go with the Convertable, will the conversion cover fit me or will I have to remain open to the elements?

Thank you in advance

Both of them are 17" across on the inside. Once the Conversion deck is on the Convertible, the cockpit opening is the same as the Expedition. Just a longer kayak. Look at the StraitEdge model too. It is wide open. It is a sit on top but not sitting down in a kayak may be more comfortable.

I'm a 44 waist w/ super thunder thighs, expedition is snug, but not uncomfortable. I still have some room to move around. Hope this helps, PM and I might be able to get you some pics, if ya want to see.
