1. Can be used as a casual lake kayak. Spray skirt and rolling isn't necessary and it'll just paddle nice and straight around a lake.
2. 325 pound weight limit is pretty nice. Gives room for a fat guy and his excessive gear should that ever be you.
3. Plenty of storage would be great for camping.
4. SCALABILITY and what I mean is that you can get a spray skirt and do serious kayaking in it. Just look at this fool:

The 26" beam width is narrower than most recreational kayaks which have a 30" beam for added stability. That's not to say that it isn't stable though, it's fine.
Really, OP based on everything you've said. I think this would be a great choice for you.
