As noted above, the H16 does really well with around 200-250lbs, after that it becomes a submarine. The P16 would be a better choice for 250-300 lbs and over that I would go with the P18 if that is what you have at hand.

I think you are selling the H16 a little short on load capacity. :hammer: Considering that the minimum class legal crew weight is 285 lbs and not many (very good) Hobie 16 race crews I know come in under 300 lbs.
But it is a fact that if you want to sail with two 200 pounders (or a 235 and 180 type combo) then an 18 footer will be less affected, and provide more room on-board.
It's a little delicate to give advice based just on weight, when someone describes themselves as "bigger guy, 235" we don't know if that is a chiseled 6' 2" MMA fighter or someone who wishes they were 175 instead. :-?
