Zubris21 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Was over at costco this morning, and came across this pontoon fishing boat... cabelas they were selling them for $319.99, is that a good price for these? look pretty intriguing to me.... Secondly does anyone have any experience with these crafts? I think it would be really handy to take out in small lakes/rivers since I don't have my own boat yet.

super dave Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Which Costco location did you see it at? I would like to take a look. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancur373 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Saw a guy using one on a fishing show few days ago. It looked like he had total control and very easy to manuvre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forrest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 It weighs quite a bit (77lbs) so it may limit your access to certain areas but looks like it has everything. I know the Hobie float cats strap to your back....don't know if this one does the same. Better than standing on shore. forrest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTHM Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I fished from one for a day in BC and found it very comfy, however in a wind it can be challenging to control. The neat thing is they can be propelled by flippers or paddles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zubris21 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Which Costco location did you see it at? I would like to take a look. Thanks. It was at the Kingston store, wasn't advertised on their website so it might be this location only, I don't know. It does seem kinda heavy (77lbs) but it does at least disassemble, and has a drop down wheel, so it can be assembled car side then wheeled into the water.

huntervasili Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Generally Pontoons of that size are that heavy... It all depends on what you want... if you want really light you go with a tube... Check out the comments on the cabelas site... they are usually pretty accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
