You won’t miss that Bass boat for 1 second Briann! Ive owned just about every type of boat from Jon boats, deep-v, Bass boats, ski boats, Baja power boat, pontoons, to my bay boat I currently have. Bass boats are a beating to catfish out of while pontoons are the Cadillacs of the lake. I recommend getting at least (2) 78” drift socks and 3 if you want to fish when it’s windy. Bass Pro has some good 78” socks. Once you have some success at Bluecatn you’ll never want to Bass fish again and that’s no joke!

Nice,

I had looked pretty hard at one of those a year ago but just couldn't pull the trigger. I really liked the idea of the space, especially when you have a Texas Tornado on board most of the time. I drift a lot and I think it would be good for that, but when I'm up in the trees and maneuvering in skinny water, I thought it might be less capable. If I was gonna do some all night flathead fishing, I think it would be great. I like my deep vee hull for rough water. I've seen too many videos of pontoons taking a nose dive. My goal now is to work toward upgrading to a Crestliner Commander. My wife wanted me to get the pontoon too. She could get on and off a lot easier but she would only come out a few times a year and I can rent one if we want to have a day out on the water together.
