The Convertible Elite combines aluminum bow and stern ribs with a drop-stitch floor, which adds rigidity, tracking and hull speed. It comes with two high-back seats with inflatable lumbar support that reposition for solo or tandem use. Optional single or double decks turn the open cockpit into a closed deck.

KayakDIY take: A drop-stitch floor plus a rib-frame bow is about as close as inflatables get to a hard-shell touring feel. To compare boats, see all my kayak reviews.
