[#0000ff]Here's a pic, for the benefit of those who have not seen one. I have not tried one, but I have spent a couple of years in a TU Kennebec (mini pontoon), and I have reviewed several of the other craft from TU. My opinion is that all of their products are well made and a fair price. The Colorado lists at $499 most places, so if you can score that bargain on the Internet, you will do well.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Just looking at the picture, it would seem that the design is good. Lots of pockets, the storage area behind the seat, motor mount already in place, etc. I would say that the midrange price makes it a good value. Most other craft in that range need modifications (more money) to bring them up to that level of outfitting. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]You can certainly spend a lot more, but if you are just getting into flotation fishing, that should be a good investment. If you learn enough to appreciate the differences of the more expensive models, you can usually recover most of your first investment in a resale, if you have taken good care of your starter craft.

[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I think Mikecromaine, on the Utah Board, just got one of those too. You might PM him to verify, and to get some input from him. He has not yet hit the water with it, but is planning to do so as soon as the weather cooperates.[/#0000ff]
