I like the Stealth 12 but a few things I'd trade it for are better forward rod holder positions and dryer inside. Some days I end up draining about a gallon out of it from where I think it comes in from the side hatches. The forward rod holders are a stretch to reach to and there really isn't a good place to mount a scotty or ram that wouldn't be in the way of paddling. Theres always water sitting in the back dive well area too. The boat basically sits a bit lower in the back than in the front so water just pools up in the rear. Better scupper hole placement might help that a bit. But overall I like it and would probably buy another.

Even though I like it I'm probably going to trade it for an outback sometime soon for hands-free fishing, as long as it's not too rough on my knees.
