I know there have been lots of threads on this, but I may have mine sold and I have some specific wants. For reference, I'm coming from an Emotion Mojo Angler. Only two complaints are: terrible seating situation and worthless front storage. Here goes. Oh, and I like to keep things simple.
In order of importance:
1. Seat - has to come with a very comfortable seat or at least be very easy to mod.
2. Light weight. I need a throw in the back of the truck type deal. Might have to carry a ways and do not want to use wheels.
3. Fishing friendly. It's what I use it for.
4. Front storage that can actually take 6' rods. The hole in the Mojo is too small for any real use.
5. Reserved for things I didn't think of since I've only had one of these.

I think you would like a Native Ultimate or WS Commander.
But for a SOT with storage you cant really go wrong with any of the big names.
Jacksons or a WS Ride 135 (great all around boat IMO)

WS Commander.
The new one would compliment the Commander and be mine for when the wife is using the Commander.

Never really looked at the Ultimate. Love the light weight. I will certainly give it some thought. Glad I posted.

How often do you fish in a downpour?
I keep a large sponge to get some of the water out when it comes in.
Unless you want to fish offshore, the no scupper holes shouldn't be an issue IMO.

Native slayer looks nice. You can pedal in reverse
Puts it's ahead of a Hobie. Imagine drifting a shoreline and being able to back up or go forward to hold your distance

As long as you have a lot of water under you. The Propel drive needs more water to function, the Hobie mirage can operate in much shallower water.

Thought about suggesting the Nucanoes, but those are pretty heavy. Looking at getting the Pursuit 12 next.
