This is a California Friendship lll.....3..... not a 2.

This is the one sidecar that is better than a Champion Daytona 2+2....so if you can find one, you buy it.

That so-called roll cage is not a "roll cage". It's the framework for the convertible top. Nice to have that, as with it....any boat canvas shop can make you a new convertible top.

If a person wants the BEST wide sidecar, or double seat sidecar.....buy this NOW.

@miles-ladue I figured that was the case since the bars are attached to the hatch. As for the best wide body, Really? I've only seen the two of them through images and the daytona looked more dog friendly with the seats being closer to the floor of the tub and in line with what I'm looking for.

Dork, the Champion Daytona 2+2 does have a lower seat, closer to the floor, and more of a flat bench seat .....than the California Friendship lll does 

I have owned one of each of these two sidecars. Both are very well manufactured...top of the line from both companies.

If you are looking for a flat bench seat close to the floor, then the Daytona 2+2 is the one for you.
