thrown them in the back of a truck, strapped them to vehicles and
never had problems with them being portable.  It all depends on your
motivation I guess.....
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I would advise against a raft like suggests.  I have used one
before and thought a pontoon was much, much better.  You sit higher
in a pontoon and can cast more easily, you don't drag as much, you
have more storage, you can maneuver the craft more easily, have more
storage if you get one that has a rear deck, can mount an anchor that
is more functional and so on.  There are far more advantages to a
pontoon boat than a raft.  While a raft may not blow as much as a
pontoon boat, they sure aren't as easy to control in the wind. For a personal
watercraft, a pontoon boat wins.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to try one of those rafts, go buy a cheap one person
raft, cut a section out of the floor and give it a shot.  You can
make a seat out of some sheets of thick polystyrene to raise you up.  
Then borrow or rent a pontoon boat and compare the two.  I am sure
you will chuck the raft and go with a pontoon after trying both.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2223350480827565309-514298889577734763?l=all-pontoon-boats.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2223350480827565309/posts/default/514298889577734763'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2223350480827565309/posts/default/514298889577734763'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://all-pontoon-boats.blogspot.com/2007/05/pontoon-boat-vs-raft.html' title='pontoon boat vs raft'/><author><name>boat</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02506672867079168433</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223350480827565309.post-792845810584541089</id><published>2007-05-11T11:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-17T11:27:36.534-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pontoon boat'/><title type='text'>new pontoon boat</title><content type='html'>&lt;i&gt;I just got back from the local stocker pond. It's a peaceful place in
 the middle of the week, and I wanted to try out my new pontoon boat. I
 caught a limit (6), which I just finished cleaning. The boat worked great.&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  What did you get for a pontoon boat?
  As a treat for myself for having spent 1 1/2 weeks in eastern Nebraska (95
degrees and 80% humidity during my youngest daughter's outside wedding at Arbor
Lodge with me in a tux) I bought a Fat Cat float tube and some Force Fins.  I
have a Waterskeeter pontoon which I really like but wanted something lighter
that I could quickly throw in the pickup and could store under the topper
without deflating.  Supposedly, the Fat Cat will float me higher in the water
than my "U" tube which I'm looking forward to.  I finally got caught up so will
try the tube and fins out today.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2223350480827565309-792845810584541089?l=all-pontoon-boats.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2223350480827565309/posts/default/792845810584541089'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2223350480827565309/posts/default/792845810584541089'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://all-pontoon-boats.blogspot.com/2007/05/new-pontoon-boat.html' title='new pontoon boat'/><author><name>boat</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02506672867079168433</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
