I got a 10'bass buster in my arsenal and love it. Very stable, can stand and fish. Comfortable, swivel chairs make it easy to reach everything. Light weight, got mine on a trailer but used to load/unload it myself into my old pickup bed( got a SUV now). Virtually unsinkable, just repaired a 4" crack in the bottom but fished all day, noticed it was listing some but still floated. Easy launch, can drop it in anywhere, literally. Pushed it off a cliff , then walked the bank with its bow line till I could get in. Downfalls are can only fish 2 people, cann't handle much rough water. These rigs are da bomb for ponds/rivers/creeks. Great for whites/crappie this time of year. Highly recommend them but if you do, get the 10 or 12'ers, the 8' is just too small unless it is for 1 person only. Yes they are fun to fish from...
