The GP1300R might not be the best idea for a man of your stature, that is if you want to have an extra passenger. The maximum capacity for the GP1300R is 352lbs so your passenger would have to weigh less than 112lbs. If solo riding, or a small passenger, is fine for you then it would work, but I would also take a look at the RXP. It is a 4stroke with a closed loop cooling system (so there's no spout of water out the back). It has a slightly higher top end but probably won't beat the GP1300R in acceleration. If you really are looking for a pwc to share with your friends and family the RXT is also a good choice, its more powerful than the bigger Yamaha's. Also has a ski eye at the rear, perfect for pulling a tube or a skier. I am about the same size as you (220lbs, 6"1) and my RXT is great for me, tons of power, handling and speed.
