If you would like to compare the various stats on pontoon boats. Drop in to your local fly tackle shop, and pick up the 2004 copy of the "Fly Fish America Gear Guide". This should give you a good idea of the quaility of the pontoon boat that you maybe interested in. It really give some super info. I just purchase a used Osprey 1, I'm now in the process of setting it up to my spects. I spent close to a year researching this subject and waiting for the right deal to come along. Just remember you get what you pay for, and once you are in trouble is not the time to wish you had purchased some better. Three cheers to Bill , a super guy. If you got a question give him a call
