Pontoons are more stable and easier to attach stuff and move around. But you sit higher on the water and get blown around alot easier. An anchor solves that.
Launching. Without a doubt a typical float tube is easier. But they sell a folding wheel to help with launching and it attaches to pontoon then folds out of way[
]
You want to cover distance with less effort, pontoon. Also no waders are necessary with pontoon.
But getting in and out of tight places with a 7'+ pontoon is not as easy as a float tube.
So like anything it's trial and error and of course personal preferrence. My friend loves sitting in water on a hot day I on the other hand since I fish saltwater alot prefer having my feet out of water.
Espcially since I may have live bait and or live fresh floating next to me![crazy][shocked][sly]
