Why some people like blue - and some people like red - standard
vs an auto - or an inboard vs an outboard - It is personal choice - personal opinion
I personally like the SIT yak - I like it due to the fact that I am lower in the boat - the center of gravity is lower - and I feel more stable
I like it due to the fact that I am out of the weather - and not as wet
I like it due to the fact that it is lighter
I like it due to the fact that it is faster
