The ultimate 12 is an excellent boat in inshore salt situations. I have two issues with it. First, I like to sit sidesaddle and cast sometimes and quickly slip off when necessary. You can't do this in the ultimate, but this is a personal preference. The second issue is taking water over the bow in heavy chop. This is a pain since ultimates don't drain like SOT's. This can be remedied by a bow skirt over the front of the cockpit. I know several ultimate owners that have this. There is no reason to put a skirt over the rear.
