[#505000]The Water Skeeter probably wasn't the best choice to start from. A friend of mine borrowed his neighbors and he had all sorts of problems and valid complaints about the craft. After seeing it and the problems with the design I wouldn't recommend them. [/#505000]

[#505000]I have a float tube and a Fishcat 9 pontoon. They each have a function but where I can I usually use my pontoon. I find I can't turn as fast as I can in my tube but I can still manuever without difficulty. The biggest pros to the toon are they can carry more weight/gear and you can get up some speed so you can get to your fishing hole a lot quicker than you can in a tube. With the speed you can also have a lot more range. [/#505000]

[#505000]The fishcat 9 has a steel frame so it is a little hefty to lug around. If you have the $$$ burning a hole in your pocket I would recommend a lighter aluminum framed pontoon.[/#505000]
