I have been, or I should say my wife has been thinking that we should get a pontoon. Not that I would give up my Lund Tyee, and it would be an addition. How are they to fish out of and how are they to trailer, load and unload. I have a fishing buddy that had one for about a year and I was on it but, never fished out of it. I never talked to him about how he liked it, but he only had it for about a year, so, I assumed he didn't like it. What do you guys think?
My wife and I fish from a SeaEagle 13-14 ft. inflatable pontoon and we love it. It only seats two, but has a motor mount plus oar mounts for rowing. It only takes us 15-20 minutes to set up...including inflation time of 5-10 minutes. it is tough as boot leather and I have yet to have a leak in it after nearly 20 years of ownership. But, according to the ownership guide, it only can handle a gas engine under 5 horsepower and recommends a 2 & 1/2 hp. motor.
