Hello Andy and others ...

I now have both a pontoon boat and a drift boat. The Pontoon boat is a 9' Fish Cat by Outcast. The drift boat is a 1976 14' Eastside. I use the pontoon easily twice as often as the drift boat, simply because I fish solo way more than fishing with someone, and the only reason I would use my drift boat is to carry other people. I find the pontoon much easier to handle than a drift boat, even compared to a sweet handling fiberglass boat like my old Eastside.
