[angelic]Well, we can agree on the Valves and the seams...LOL
As far as rust, wanna check out a pair of my old foot pegs. Scratch the coating, it will most definitely rust. As you said, I have also been using Framed models for a few years [
] But we won't go there...LOL
Vinyl is more than likely Asian made and it does not have the regulations that the Urethane does, so I respectfully disagree on it being just hype. It is like MONO and Fluorocarbon. Yes you can explode both, but more than likely it will be the seam.
The Outer cover is a big feature to pay close attention to.
As I said in earlier post, vinyl could be just fine, I KNOW Urethane would be. I have owned both, and had one blow out...guess which.
Oars, I have used the 6'er on my 9'er and they were fine, the 7'er customs are even better. and on my 10'6" boat I use 7'6" oars. Longer oars will make it easier, just keep it real and don't exceed the length of the boat. LOL
I am just giving MY opinion on this because I have been using pontoons for a quarter of a century or better, and have been lucky enough to try several different ones. So, take my post for what it is worth.
