Mike just recently posted my latest article in Feathers To Fins on personal watercraft for fishing. If you are considering purchasing a float tube or pontoon boat, this article may help you in making your decision.

As Ben Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.
Remember:
Water = Poop,
Wine = Health.
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of poop
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service.

Another consideration for a inflatable is the Watermaster Rafts. http://www.bigskyinflatables.com/The_Water_Master.html
I've had one for years and have taken in on lakes in Washington and rivers in Alaska and Washington with great success.

My toon has a sea anchor ,which I thought was for that reason .The wind wreaks havoc on most boats.The sea anchor helps with stability in the wind.I know when the wind is blowing my 16' alum dosent handle real great either.
When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.
