May I offer some things to look for. First off, how do you wish to transport it? They do come apart, but that requires time to put them together. Back of a truck or on a roof, good choices, but then weight might be an issue.
The top things in my book to look for is:
Aluminum frame or no frame
Urethane bladders or bladderless as they are lighter and stronger and less effected by temp and altitude.
Outer material of PVC coated instead of just nylon
A pontoon made for stillwater. By this I mean with smaller rockers that the Creek Company.
The boats wth the large rockers need to be balanced to track level and that is such a short window.
All states make you license them if you put a motor on, but for $38. it is so worth it specially when the wind picks up.
I am going to say, you really do get what you pay for so choose wisely. Some have weld problems on the frames too. This is you life out there so get the best you can.
Craigs list has some great buys.
My choice are NFO, Outcast, Bucksbags and some Creek Co.
