I don't know anything about the ezytopper but I am in the market for a light weight boat we can take on trips on the 4x4 roofracks.
I have had a look at these and am pretty impressed.

Weight is important as well as strength and croc proofness. Many factors to consider and weight up.

Let us know what you choose in the end and why?

Cheers

60 k.g. strikes me as being not light at all for a car topper? Your garden variety 3.4 quinny car topper is lighter.

60 kg is do-able as you only need to lift one end at a time and maybe have a small winch. As said its a tradeoff between weight, strength and ability to withstand the jaws of a croc the best.
