That Riot has a max displacement of 300lbs. If you really are 260-270 you'd be pushing the limits with that boat once you load it with gear. Look for something with at least 350lbs displacement. The Coosa is a bit small but the new Cuda is awesome. I almost bought one but the price was a bit too steep. If you want to head out in the lake you need a boat that can handle it. i would recommend something that is 30+" wide for stability and 13 feet or more long. The added length helps when the water gets rough and also helps with speed. My yak is 14'5" long and 30.5" wide.
