Hey, I have two boats, a 12ft sit in rec boat and a SOT almost identical to this, different brand. The SOT is MUCH better for me for overnights and such. Much more like an SUV, I can strap tons of stuff on it, like this boat a great space for a good sized cooler (very difficult to accomadate in a sit in boat) and the dry hatch space is almost as large as the main (rear) dry hatch in my sit it. Bottom line, don't worry about looking professional, worry about what will do the job for you and give you the best experience....and not having to learn rolls and such is not a bad thing, roll the SOT and you just roll it back while in the water and climb back on top.
