I think if everyone got friendly with the sleek style of no rail they would like it but old habits are hard to brake. I like the no hassle on wipedown I have knot had a non boater issue my wife also likes it just a peorsanal opion.
the only thing you mention that i dont like is the steering ,but im only 5/6 the rest you will get used to there really is alot of storage one ride in rough water and you will see a huge difference .I love my p11 wish you the best .
