Anyone ever used one of these pontoons? Are they any good? I am looking to buy a float tube or a pontoon. Don't have alot of money to spend but want a good quality product. I would like to hear your opinions of what you guys use and what not to get. Thanks guys. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores...OSSSELL_PRODUCTHope the link works.

Be sure and read the reviews. On those things, the least expensive is definately not always a good idea. The cage on that thing would need to be pretty solid. I heard the paddles that come with it are not sturdy.
I like my tube.

You would be better off with the White River brand or the fishcat brand in the "people who viewed this also viewed window"
 It's more than the catfish would do.

I was thinking of buying a float tube first but with the toon, you will have more "upgrade" options down the road. The Fish Cat 4 is 199. With 200 more you can get a decent toon.

Well, if you want to get in the water ASAP, then by all means get it!!!
With this heat, the best would be to just relax floating around, lol!

What you need is a fold cat. Try looking for one on Craigslist. I paid $700 for my FOLDCAT 375. Worth every penny. Its the easiest to set up, take down and stow away. I'll have fished for an hour before most other brands have even inflated their pontoons.

Another option if you want to start with a tube would be the ODC 420. Similar to the Fish Cat 4 but at a lower price.

If anyone is still looking for one, I've got a fishcat 9-IR that'd I'm looking to sell. I've only used it a couple times so it's like new. Wife made me get something with 2 seats PM if you're interested.
