Welcome Shayne,
There is no doubt that a yak will get you into more productive fishing spots. My fishing has improved markedly since getting my yak.
There are lots of yaks out there suitable for the larger gentleman. Some of them are barges upon which you'll never feel insecure. Others will initially feel quite tippy, but are actually quite stable, particularly when paddling. These yaks are easier to paddle and, in the long term, will give you a more satisfying fishing experience.
Only way to test all of this is to try out a few yaks and give yourself a chance to test their stability at rest and when paddling in a range of conditions. You'll soon find something with which you feel comfortable.
