I have looked at all the websites for the makers , the problem is , Not many local stores carry the products , they usually are brand specific , meaning , they only carry one brand name , and it is usually the higher end models , forcing us to spend more than we may need to .

One major disadvantage to the pontoon boat....wind. I was fishing Jones Lake last year in the wind and noticed a guy in a pontoon struggling to get away from shore into the wind. Was in the kayak and blew by him like no problemo. People in belly boats were not being blown around so much, but getting waves down the crack of their waders... Have looked into buying one myself and now know that can be a problem. I have had the same wind problem in my $30 vinyl 3 person inflatable.
