kemo99 Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 I'm thinking of getting a pontoon boat. I have a float tube, but like the idea of something I could occasionally take on a river trip as well. I don't have a trailer, just a small SUV. Is it practical to have a pontoon boat that gets assembled/inflated at the lake? I think I'd be lucky to get 15-20 days a year (more fishing on small streams) , so I don't need an industrial strength unit. Any suggestions? If someone is looking to trade up, I'd consider buying a used one. ken Quote

I carry it in an oversize bag ie: hockey bag, and put it together, inflate at the lakes. Once you put it together and take it down a few times, it doesn't take too long. Not much longer than my FishCat4 to inflate and get fishing. I've never tried it on a river, mostly because I fish on my own and it would be a long walk back to the car after going downstream....Canadian Tire, and probably others, also carry one that packs up into a backpack.Good luck,Dan Quote
