I wouldnt rule out bucks or outcast boats while they didnt pioneer the catagory they were the first large companies to bring these boats to the mainstream.

They make great boats and they will be around in five to ten years when your bladders wear out or if you need repairs done to your boat. that cant be said about the other companies.

Another boat i would check out is the coho cat
made by sotar. sotar makessome of the best pontoons and rafts in the industry.
