I have a sportsman 12 and love it for hitting the canals around South Florida. It’s light enough to launch straight out of the bed of the truck at a boat ramp or drop and drag into the water if a ramp isn’t available. That said, I would probably push them towards a pond prowler or bass hunter type pontoon style plastic boat. The sportsman is stable enough for me but can very easily get a little tippy if the weight isn’t balanced out just so and I’m in my 30’s. In my experience the pontoon style can be a little more challenging for loading/unloading due to being a little heavier but is significantly more stable for two adults.
