I have owned mariner kayaks for 20 YEAR , the XL then the MAX. I also built two SOF kayaks. My SOF play boat is based on the dimensions of the coaster and also incorporated some elements the of the Inuit recovery Kayak.I made the mistake of telling Mat Brose that I based my SOF on the Coaster and Mat proceeded, for the next 20 minutes, to point out the differences. Brian Schulz was interested in my SOF while I was building it. This was before he started his Coaster project. As the Sportee is not a Coaster, Brian Schulz's SOF can not be a Coaster. It may be as good as a coaster. I am a fan of how a SOF handles in the surf thats why I built a sof play kayak.
