Either the 11.5ft or the 13ft model would support his weight (about 198 pounds) and then some. They are also a bit wider, which lends the feeling of stability. As a beginner, it is best to go try out a few rental boats until he finds one that he is really comfortable with, and find a boat that matches the measurements of that boat within your price range.
