I ended up getting the 8' from The Creek Company.
It was 189.00 delivered to the door. It took two days from the time I ordered it until it was at my door.
We had to pack the boats up the hill and down the bank aways, I wanted the 9' boat, but that day I was glad it wasn't any longer.
With it unloaded, I stood it on end and put it up on my shoulder and took off.
James has the Fish Cat Streamer, it is a little heavier. He has a wheel he uses to move it around while on land. I think I will get a wheel for mine somewhere down the line, as James can pack everything on his boat and only make one trip, whereas, I had to make three trips up and down the hill to get everything to the lake.
The Fish Cat and some of the other poontoon seem to be a little more robust. Only time will tell if this one from The Creek Company is going to be the great buy I thought it was.
As far as fishing from it, once I get rod holders set up like I want and fish finder like I want and learn how to pack, I think it is going to be a great fishing platform.
I found out I am going to have to hit the rowing machine a bit more. My right arm moves much more water than my left. So, I have a tendency to veer to the left as I row.
All in all, I am happy with my choice of the 8' boat from The Creek Company.
