go to hell
I know it's not a kayak technically but has anyone tried out an Old Town Next Canoe?
https://www.oldtowncanoe.com/canoes/next/

I've got a sit on top kayak right now but just don't like being that, exposed I guess is the right word. As a big guy (285lbs) finding a sit in kayak is hard, most I've tried just are not comfy at all, just too snug on the sides.
I'm not looking to do anything crazy, just some fishing and floating on lakes and rivers.
Of course I can't find anyone selling one used this looks to be selling in stores here for around $850

Take a look at Ascend's sit-ins. I'm seventy-five pounds heavier than you, and their (now out of production) 12' never had a problem with me.

The D10 maxes out at 300, but will absolutely go another 50lbs beyond that, and is plenty comfortable. 29" wide cockpit and a seat that's pretty much a deck chair.

Thanks for that suggestion. Been looking at them, saw a couple of the D10 selling locally for $350 but I think the 12 would be better for me.
