Have you not noticed the potential leak areas all around the outside of non-clam shell designed TCs? There is a seam where the roof meets the sides, where the roof meets the back of the TC, seams where the sides meet the bottom, seams where the top meets the front cap seams where the front cap meets the bottom. I say on a 11.5 foot TC, there is about about 70 feet more seams for leaks.
Also consider there is no other roof as solid as the molded fiberglass. Not easily damaged.
