I bought a 10' guide model this summer and have been both pleased and dissapointed. First the negative; just because it is a pontoon boat doesn't necessarily mean that it will be easy to lift around. Its not the weight persay, however it is the dimensions of the 10 ft guide model that prevent me from just tossing it around, its too long and wide to to lift with any ease and Iam a very in shape 23 yr old who lifts 4-5 days/wk. The next negative is that the boat doesn't fit into my 01' f150 without hanging over the sides. Becuase of this I ended up buying a new trailer to tow it with becuase who in the hell wants to assemble it at the launch...I've done it and it sucks big time.

Now to the possitives. First and foremost is the customer service. Bill is a great guy with a great product and when my pontoon sprung a leak he said without a doubt bring it back and I'll fix it..Great customer service in my opinion. Next is that they carry a ton of weight for outings as well as being every bit as stable as a db. My buddies and I are in constant search of tougher water when fishing simply to run the boats down because they can handle anything....Really tough boat.
Overall very satisfied, but if your looking for something that can be packed easily stick with the smaller boats like a bucks bag southfork or others, not quite the quality but won't leave you stranded either. If you want a rowing machine that can handle any fishable river and if your willing to pay the price go skookum. Oh yeah, for those of you that don't know bill also sells some of his boats that are used for a little less.

Hope this helps,
Drew
