I just got a Bucks Bag Bronco which allows you to walk right out of the seat. I think this is a huge plus. The Steelheader has a platform, so you need to decide if you want the platform for standing or want to step right out. Steelheader is a well mad/heavy duty pontoon boat if that is what you are looking for. Not sure how much it weighs but has to way more than my 11 ft Bronco which ways about 65 lbs. Good luck deciding, that is part of the fun,
