[size 2]Thanks for the info,[/size]
[size 2]This will be my first toon. I do not want a tube because I would rather ride on the water. I fish the popular, easy access bodies of water so packing out is not an issue. I would prefer something with a swivel seat and adjustable footrests so I can set it up for a comfortable day on the water. I do not plan on a trolling motor, rowing is fine for me. soft storage deck is also fine, less weight. Intregal anchor system would also be something I could use but making one is still an option for me. Rod holders and fishfinder setup, well, I have seen what others on this board have done and feel that I could STEEL your ideas to make something for myself. As far as price goes, I have priced some out locally from 299 to 599 that are really nice. Sportsmans and Garts run some sales on them every now and then. I think I want to find a used one that someone is upgrading from or just not useing anymore in hopes of getting my feet wet a little before I shell out the big bucks for a quality toon. [/size]
