[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 367961, member: 5461"] I know this is an old thread, but I fished out of a pontoon boat this past weekend for the first time. I'm a die hard tin V-hull guy ..... but now I don't think I'll ever buy another one. I LOVED THE PONTOON BOAT!!!!!!!!!!!! We had 7 guys out there with no issues. The ride in rough water was a LOT smoother than my 16' v-hull. There was plenty of room to cast, move around, sit down, lay down, etc etc. The sun shade was super nice. It runs even shallower than my v-hull. It was plenty fast enough with a 75HP Tohatsu. It was no harder to tow/launch/recover than any other boat. We found one drawback. It was windy and the boat catches a lot of wind. We just used anchors to slow the drift and it was fine. If I had my own pontoon, I'd mount a high end remote controlled trolling motor and that would solve the wind issue. I have a cottage on a lake in NY, three young kids, and a wife. Can you guess what I'm already shopping for? [/QUOTE]
