[black][size 3]I find nothing wrong with the Outcast Cougar.[/size][/black]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]It has all the bells and whistles, with some safety features that are not found on most kickboats. (Quad pontoons)[/size]

[size 3]If there is a fault with the cougar is the use of vinyl for the bladder material rather than urethane.[/size]

[size 3]Some people feel that because it has quad toons, that it has more drag than a craft with only two. I personally don't think that this is a problem.[/size]

[size 3]If someone was asking me for a recommendation, I wouldn't hesitate to point them to the Cougar.[/size]

Without having actually finned or rowed one those were my exact observations. I would have one if I only fished stillwaters. I opted for the Outcast 10 IR as I would like my craft to be riverworthy. Even though my toon also has a vinyl bladder and a metal rather than aluminum frame, I am extremely pleased wih it. It handles well with fins and responds very well to the oars.
A similar Outcast pontoon with urethane and aluminum components is out of my price range. (Or should I say the outlay would not sit well with the wife!)
