These hulls comply with the criteria for a nice cartopper.
The angler 8/10 is very comfy to fish in but the seats with their frames require more space in the vehicle.
The 12' Sportsman is very close to the benchmark Coleman Crawdad. Though the inner hull does add a bit of weight to her as opposed to the plastic hull with aluminum frame of the Crawdad.
The staples that bond the cap to the hull are steel so salt/brackish water use will rust them.
