Great info! I too have been thinking about buying a pontoon.

RP, is the Fishcat 9' Deluxe model comparable to the PAC 900? What class of Rapids can each handle? Does the Fishcat also carry a 10 yr. warranty? To me the 2 boats look very similar, in structure and design, but I would value your opinion since you mentioned that you sell these.

My second question is about fishability. Can you drag a small anchor from these (thru swift water)and pull plugs or divers all day long as you would do in a drift boat. What size rope/anchor would you recommend?
