[cool]I think you will find that the vucanized rubber bladders will be more difficult to fix. However, if you are not up to the task yourself, a truck tire repair shop should be able to get the job done. The nominal amount they will charge will more than offset the savings you get on the purchase.
I think the person who is offering you the pontoon posted on the Utah forum a while back about trying to fix that bladder. The company that made it is out of business and Sportsmans does not have resources to get it fixed either. I think that's where it was originally purchased.
The good news is that if you can get the air bladder fixed, you will have a good craft. If you need any help on basic fishing techniques, launching or beaching, or whatever, let us know.
