I'm wondering about the strengths and weaknesses of the above type boats. I'm hoping to save enough to buy one this year. I primarily fish rivers although a lake one or twice a year comes to play. Storeage can be an issue (bad for the boat). I would like to be able to carry three anglers. A friend recommended a "super puma" with a frame. I can get a "scream'n deal on a raft 16.5' with a frame and oars for 700 from a co worker although I think thats too large.
