this solid Uke/German decended farm-boy tickles 270 on the lbs scale. The 15ft Coleman canoe is my sneaking watercraft and handles great - even tossing in the wife and 2 kids (tossing them in the canoe that is). This canoe (is rated for 600lbs) or even the smaller Coleman (rated I believe for 400 lbs) should be fine for solo-ing a 300lb+ person.

As Jed noted - have the seat at about the 5/8'ths mark back for solo trips works great - stability and comfort. I sit on a 3 gal. plastic water can with knee pads and bumpers under the ankles. This give a low CofG and I can go for hours.

There's other makes / models for sure - pick one as deemed fit.
