>>131698SoT's are slow in general because many are designed for stability and general recreational boating. Surf skis (also a SoT) are built for speed and will smoke most touring kayaks and hang with K-1s. Not all SoT boats are fucking heritage fishing kayaks. It's like saying all motorcycles are slower than cars because my 50cc dirtbike is slower than my Civic. An SoT usually can carry more weight than a sit in boat and you can just pile it on, no need to carefully pack. I took a SoT down the Devil's River in west TX and ran Dolan Falls in it.
