I'm pretty fat and haven't had any issues with my zydeco 11. It's weight limit is 325lbs If I remember right. My buddy's sit on top has a weight limit of 325 as well. Getting out of it is a bit awkward but at worst I end up getting wet. It might also be inexperience and clumsiness that's causing that issue. I haven't had any issues with paddling. My arms were sore after the first few times out but stopped pretty quickly. Last time out I covered 3 miles throughout the day and had no issues. That was split up by a few hours of fishing though. My kayak is rigged for fishing and I can reach and access its storage without issue even with the poles and lines. It was awkward accessing things behind me at first but I got past that once I became more comfortable in it. I'd say main thing is don't let nervousness about your size hold you back. My kayak was an impulse buy because it was more than half off at EMS due to a ripped seat cover. My buddy held it for me and helped get me set up. It sat for over a year because a mix of nervousness and work sucking. I wish I started using it sooner. Your best bet might be looking for a rental spot and just try some out. I'm rather inexperienced though so you'd have better luck asking others how to get started.
