Rhino is right about the Scrambler XT being too small for you. Out of the 2 you first mentioned, I would have pointed you to the Pro Explorer. I'm 6'2" and my legs don't even hit the 2nd to last footwell. The Scupper Pro may be to small for you too. Like Rhino suggested, the Drifter would be a great kayak as well. Though take the modification advice and make those scupper hole and seat lift changes. If you did go w/ the Pro, you could probably use a seat lift, though if you have a high back seat, that may be enough for the meantime. Maybe check out a couple of Tandem yaks too. "Tandem" sounds big, but they really aren't. The Scupper is a couple of feet longer than most tandems. The Pro seems sorta like a tandem w/ the front seat mold missing.
