I tend to favor outcast. I bought a couple of pac 800's when they first came out years ago. now I use them primarily on small rivers-the 8 foot pontoons ride fairly low by the time you get a battery and motor and my 210 pound frame on there. a couple of years ago I splurged and bought a pac 9000 that I have been really happy with. a couple of weeks ago I bought a fishcat 9 so members of my family could also use a motor and battery. for the price I have been very impressed with how the fishcat 9 handles the weight. It also rides nice and high in the water. The frame breaks down quickly as well. As TubeDude has said before I would recommend, also, that you try out all the brands you're interested in before you commit. I didn't have that opportunity when pontoons were just coming on to the market. In retrospect, I would have bought all 9 footers.
