We have a 22 ft deck boat that I tournament fish from my 2 issues arethe width and maneuverability I mean I can't get near as deep in the stumps or I can but turning around and getting out is a different story, buy boay docks anf bridges I yhink I get more angles than ever to approach from. And I go baxk to the same thing most have said my non fishing time with friends and family far out weights my maneuverability concerns.

One of the things that pulled me away from keeping my bass boat was watching one of my neighbors
at the lake fishing from his 'toon. He didn't have fishing seats up front, but, as with my boat, had
standing room. He used a metal folding chair and had a trolling motor mounted between the 'toons.

Watching him move down the slough and fish in a couple of coves from that pontoon boat made my
decision to move up to a pontoon all that easier!

We intend to bass fish from ours as well as my wife's idea of fun - jug fishing for catfish. :roll:
