You can't stand up and fish from it like you can the boats from Skookum, but it is a lot less $ and a lot lighter.

Like everyone says, depends on you use, but for me the "midrange" has been fine.

Peterman, I have this same pontoon boat and it is fine for most rivers in our area. Most people that buy pontoons don't use that many times a year. You don't need to drop alot of money for a 10-12 footer, unless you're going to be using it alot. There alot of fun to use. Good luck.....
