Not had one, but some good friends of ours just got one. We have gone out on it a few times. Way more fun than I thought it would be. Can fish for pan fish too.

I don't own one be we rent one between 10 and 15 times a year. We have a 2, 5, and 10 year old so it is perfect for us. We pull the kids on tubes and cruise the lake. It all depends on what you're wanting for.

i just got a 22' Berkshire Pontoon with the Fishing package and we love it! its a center console with two live wells, rod holders, depth finder.

can't beat it for holding 12 people to fish and have a great time.

We have a 26' Bennington with a 225 Yamaha. By yourself it will run in the 40s but loaded down with 12 people it will still run in the 20s with no problem and doesnt suck as much gas as a small motor. Def buy a the bigger motor. Worth every penny

Father in law has a 20' 150hp, plenty of fun for the kind of boat it is. It has the bench seats that fold out into a bed and the full canopy if you want to spend the night on it.

You need a custom job that is about 20x50 that way you can load up 30 of your closest friends on it. You then have a floating party.
