Solo Skiff....
I googled Solo Skiff in order to perhaps buy one, a lot of copy cats to be sure that are really Kayaks of various sorts.
So where can one find one?

https://brooklynkayakcompany.com/pro...gle%20Shopping It costs $800 less, yet already has side handrails, and weighs 40lbs less yet has 151lbs more capacity. The one thing I really don't like about the Solo skiff is the capacity is only 400lbs. That does not leave much weight for the fish you catch! In contrast, a Stealth Powerfisha 14 weighs 97lbs and has a 992lb capacity. I am surprised that nobody uses them. |

Tom, the creator of the Solo Skiff, posted that he will have good news soon. Maybe hold off to see what he have to announce.
There's also a HooDoo Hero 130 that's seems to be very similar to the Solo Skiff. Here's the review. |

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.
