Here's a post I made on yakfishing.com about my caper. I've posted more verbose reviews of it there and I'll go looking for them, too and follow them up here:
About the Caper:
"I love it. Karen (my wife) and I bought the first two Allen could get us. We tested them on one saturday and picked them up the next. Like JOE said, it's roomy, huge hatch up front, cup holder, etc. I have the round hatch in front of my seat, too - very handy. I haven't put anything in the back yet - looking for a good bait tank option to stick back there.
You can almost stand up on this thing if you're feeling brave. I scoot all over the place without ever feeling off balance (and I'm a big clutz). It's so easy to toss two of them in the back of my Ranger pickup and just take off. As others have mentioned it's not a speed demon but it's not a brick either. We love ours."
In addition, I have a fishing seat with a pair of rod holders and I'm looking at possibilities of mounting one more rod holder up front and putting a pair on a bait tank I'm building out of a small cooler for the well behind the seat.
Pros: 1. Very dry ride - I can almost go without getting even -damp- in the seat. I imagine if I plugged the rear scupper holes I would fix that altogether. 2. Large storage area up front with 6" hatch by the seat. 3. Stable stable stable. 4. handles surf decently well.
Cons: 1. smaller/slower than a scupper pro tw. 2. less "surface area" for rod holders, a rhino bar, etc. 3....um...heh
