EXCELLENT Boat
Disclaimer: I work for a "major outdoor retailer" and sell the "XT" version of this pontoon...I purchased THIS version on Amazon because the price was -way- better than what I could purchase it for through my employer.
Disclaimers aside, I've sold dozens of these pontoons and based on (my) customer feedback decided to purchase one for myself. I could not be any happier with the quality and performance of this boat. In it's price point there is simply not another pontoon that will compare. Whether I'm using the oars, "kicking" the boat with flippers or using my 30# electric trolling motor the boat performs quite well. It is very easy to assemble and disassemble (less than 10 minutes either way) and it is light enough for this old guy to haul 50 feet down to the water. I did make one modification (so far) and that was to replace the (non-swivel) seat that comes with the boat and install a regular boat seat with a swivel...which makes for a much more comfortable day on the water.
If you read the reviews for this boat on Amazon (and other) websites you will occasionally see a negative review and typically the issue involves the valves. As someone who sells these boats I can -promise- you that the majority of the issues people have with the valves are the result of people over inflating the pontoons beyond the recommended 2.5 pounds of pressure. I have also seen one or two reviews critical of the customer service provided by Classic Accessories. All I can say in that regard is that I have had the opportunity to call them several times on behalf of my customers and they have -always- been friendly, accommodating and efficient.
