The AdvancedFrame Convertible uses built-in aluminum ribs at the bow and stern and a skeg tracking fin to perform more like a hard shell. Three seat locations let you paddle tandem or solo from the center, and it comes with two adjustable high-back padded seats. Optional single or double decks turn it into a closed-deck kayak.

KayakDIY take: A convertible inflatable is a practical pick when you paddle alone some days and with a partner others. To compare boats, see all my kayak reviews.
