Looking for advice on new yak

Ok, here is the problem should I get the Malibu Extreme or X-Factor or the Wilderness 2012 Ride 135? I am 6'2" and 270# and my son will be 6'4" at least. Let me know your thoughts and comments.

Thanks Ray

The ride 135 is apparently faster than its competitors, and extremely stable. the overall quality is above Malibu. However the malibu poses many benifits. They are, I think, more geared to fishing, such as the fish storage hatch in front, the gator hatch and the ammount of storage. The ride 135 is lacking the new slide trax system, and comes with a really nice seat, which will save you some $$

I went with Malibu, for the live well on the stealth, and the storage on the sides. I do kind of wish i went with the 135, after the flaws I have found in malibus construction.

killer upgrades on the Ride and the new X Factor can be plumbed like the Stealth series.
