I saw there was at least one other similar post, but I thought I'd put one out there that's more specific to my situation. I'm moving back to Utah next week, and I'm thinking of buying a pontoon boat for lake fishing this summer and fall. I only began fishing last summer (at age 23) and I just wanted some general advice from all you experienced anglers. What is the advantage of a pontoon over a tube? Is there much risk in going cheaper (I'm a 230# fish myself)? New vs. used, and the risks associated? What features should I make sure to get? Can a motor prop fit on any model, or do I need to be careful, in case I wanted to get a motor down the road? Any brands or vendors I should watch out for? What do people usually regret after making such a purchase? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated! And if I get one, if anyone wants to go out and better show me the ropes on a Saturday, I would be happy to drive or pitch in for gas! [
