We went with AirFusion Elites. Whilst not the sit-on-top you are considering they addressed many of the similar challenges about use and storage. At 32 lbs they are light enough to easily lift up and store anywhere on the boat, and being inflatable we simply pack them up for challenging passages, big storms and winter storage - they pack into a suit-case sized bag. For good weather
anchorage-hopping we simply lift them up onto the fordeck or salon roof. Unpacking or packing takes about 1/2 hour, and is about as complex as erecting a tent (ie not a big deal).

They are pretty good kayaks too!
