splashhopper Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I found one in my price range.. Almost free I can tell by the pic that it isn't a high end unit, but the price is right and the guy says it doesn't leak. We'll see.. lol I am planning on using it on local conservation type ponds/ lakes. Any pro's and con's or concerns that I should be aware of before I drop the "big dough" ?

DRIFTER_016 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 They are great. Don't leave them fully inflated while out of the water as the sun's heat will build up the pressure in them. If the pontoons are fabric covered don't drag the boat around or they will wear quickly (especially the threads). Make sure they are dry before storing if fabric covered pontoons to avoid mildew and rot. I usually take my pump and repair kit with me, just in case. Have fun!!!!

Victor Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 maybe you can talk to Ryan (The Urban Fisherman), he used to own one and he totally pimped it up, I remember he had a trolling motor/camera stand and more. In fact I just went to his personal page and I think his personal pic has his ride in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
