What an incredible stretch of water!!!![shocked] AND THAT BRIDGE!!!! that is sooooo cool.
I agree that you will find the pontoon has many more advantages.
Length doesn't need to be a big selling feature. I had a 6' Alpine (Buck's Bag) and a 4' Echo (Venture Outdoors)
Both very high quality pontoons. As Ron mentioned, stronger outside cover is a big plus. Think of them like a hot dog on the BBQ. Some will plump when you cook them and bust seams...then you are done. At least the bladders can be patched but the outer cover is a little tougher.
The boat you bought works, but I doubt I would put much more money into it myself, and If you love your wife, you might think about up grading her as well...[laugh][laugh][laugh]
Getting a great deal on a tube or toon is always a BIG advantage, but I suggest getting the best quality you can. You are out in the middle of water and should NOT have to worry about the safety of the ride.
That pontoon does have a history, please be careful, and more pictures please.[
