Hi im trying to get into a new pontoon boat and was wondering if anyone knows anything about the arrow packer. If anyone does I would love to hear about it. Thanks

Sorry, don't know much about that boat. But it strikes me as being cheap. I'd either spend more and get a quality toon or get a very nice tube for the price of the Arrow.
Here's some reviews:

If you're not worried about your toon fitting on your back, then check out my ad on the for sale board:

I agree with Wasatch. There is nothing wrong with Vinyl bladders other than weight, longevity, durability, and temp and alt. which are all minor, but the OUTER cover is a big issue. It is the skin on the hot dog. You want it to "BALL PARK FRANK" Plump when you fill it but not split.
I would look for PVC coated covers as they will last longer, specially with the sun.
Plus the STEEL frame will rust if that powder coating comes off which it will, ALUMINUM frame is the way to go plus much lighter.
That seat is nice, not as comfortable as the molded plastic with pad, but nice. I have one for my pontoon.
If you can save a little more money, I will say you will get more for the buck.
The better made toons will last and resale if need be better. I have an old BUCK'S Alpine that is now 15 years old and still going strong, but again, PVC coated cover and Aluminum frame.
As far as the Molded Plastic seats, I bought one unpadded and then bought one of those cushions for hunting and glued it on......VERY NICE!
What W is offering is a great deal!
