What we liked

  • + 12-foot hull covers distance more efficiently than shorter rec boats
  • + More deck length gives room for a bag or cooler behind the seat
  • + Keeps the easy, forgiving sit-on-top layout of the Bali range

Trade-offs

  • - Longer boat is heavier to lift and needs a roof rack or trailer
  • - Takes more storage space than the compact shorter Bali versions
