Hello all,

Just looking into some comparative information from EXPERIENCE on pontoon boats vs regular aluminum drift boats differences out there on the rivers. I read the postings here and there before, and I owned a drift boat before. I never was in the pontoon boat before. I know that they are easier to get into and out of the river, maybe safer, compact, durable. But with regards to total fishing experience... How about dealing with inflation/deflation, all the straps, etc.? Worrying about punctures; gear storage, bounciness in the water, etc.? Are there those of you who owned a pontoon boat before, went to the drift boat, and regreted getting rid of pontoon boat, and vice versa?
