[Paddlewise] Anyone paddled a SOAR Cat?

I'm quite keen on SOAR's S-Cat as it sounds like it might be the right kind of boat for a very shallow, rocky desert river I want to paddle in South Africa. 

I've noted that the SOAR website says the S-Cat is for 1-2 people. If so, fantastic, but is this true and has anyone rigged this boat to carry two people?

And if you can carry two people, how much gear could you carry?

Finally, I've never paddled any kind of catraft. Is there an appreciable difference between catraft and conventional inflatable kayaks 12 in terms of draft? 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

cheers,

Paul
