I have a 2 man buc and a single skeeter. I think Buc need to stop using items that will rust on them, like the d rings and the casting platform in the front. The carryall bags are not water tight as a matter of fact they let H20 in quite well and do not let it out.... Booo.

You can not fish from them at anchor as you would a drift boat. The guy on the stix must keep the boat from kiting when at anchor. So we fish the guy in the front and if you are on the stix you can only hope your buddy gets one soon so you can trade positions. If two are to fish at the same time you must pull the boat over and bank it.

Don't get me wrong I like my buc, one must understand it limitations and deal with them.
For class three water and up I would take it over a drift boat any day.

I am working on changes to the bag and anchoring problems. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

My single man skeeter has suffered a few equipment failures. Two broken seats and one frame failure. They have been good about fixing the problems, but when you are drifting in the middle of nowhere this can be a big problem. Duc tape, shock cords, monel wire, line, and basic tools should always be carried.
These items have saved my butt more than once.

All in all I like my blow up boats for the following reason. I can put in almost where ever I want which more often than not give me first water in the morning. I don't need a boat ramp so well you can figure the rest out.

I must admit I am looking at getting a drift boat again cuz one can never have enough boats.
