Solo Skiff.... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

From some utube videos i have seen of those model, I would say that they are not as sturdy a hull, as the Solo Skiff. They are the outer layer of Polypropylene hull only, but do not have a sprayed on layer of foam throughout the inside of the hull, like the Solo Skiff. That layer not only gives the Solo Skiff extra floatation, it gives it sound proofing and most importantly make the hull more rigid. When I get airborne some times going full speed and cresting some large rollers, I can't imagine some lighter, less rigid hull taking the pounding so many miles from shore and alone.
