Skin-on-Frame: Design choice

I'm looking to make at least 6 boats for my kids & their teen group.
It has to be super simple to build and 'mass-produce'.
I built a Yost Kidarka for my daughter, but she can't get in there anymore.
Rarely, more than an overnight trip. Mostly flat water and easy river paddling.
The kids love paddling all over the place in my bigger boats, but I want something they can start learning to roll in, and paddle on into early adult.
After hours on the Yost site, I'm leaning toward Sea Otter-R.
Am I on the right track? Any thoughts?
Lance
