Default Tree Stand

I need a tree stand that will accomodate a guy my size (6'6" 230lbs size 16 shoe). I have climbed with several (summit viper, gorilla magnum, API bowhunter) and my problem is my feet once in the tree. The standard 18X30 platform just doesn't give me much room to maneuver for a shot without extreme caution (my feet take up the entire platform). Does anyone know of a climber that comes with a very large platform?

Why don't you just stand on the ground and be the tree?

Other than the ones the other guys have suggested, you may have to go to a hang on to get any larger platform. Even my 14's take up most of the platform on mine so I can't imagine 2 sizes more. I have one hang on that is several years old made by API that has a great platform size and large seat....but it's not a climber. If you just can't get one that suits go to a hang on and get some climbing sticks? Good Luck
