I need your advise guys. I am in the market for a pontoon boat to rig up for catfish, crappie, sand bass and strippers along with pulling my daughter on a tube. I have been looking at the 22' fishing barge at Bass Pro. Any suggestions, advise you can give me would be much appreciated. How would you rig it out? I'm currently fishing from a Nitro Z9 but I am looking for a family rig.

I have a Suntracker 21 ft with a 50 hp Mercury, I have pulled the grandkids on a tube type toy but its not very fast. If your daughter wants a little "zing" on the tube you need a larger engine than my 50. On the other hand my 50 sips gas and gets me where I wanna go and back. Not sure what kind of info you are looking for but hope this helps a bit. I have made some changes to get more specific to my kind of fishing but this may give you a visual reference for how I did rod holders, trolling motor, and drift curtain. Let me know if I can answer anything else for you.
