[cool][#0000ff][size 1]Hey Dryrod, I don't know if you caught the recent thread on that craft or not, but I have decided to get one too. My game plan is to find one on display somewhere, to verify all of the quality and features I hope to find, and then to order through Riverwire. That is where I got my Super Fat Cat and it can save a few bucks to avoid getting dinged for shipping.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]I can see where one of those would add a lot of water to be fished...with greater range and faster speed. It would allow some decent slow trolling without getting a hernia, and would definitely help power back into an offshore breeze.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]When I get one, I think I will finally break down and add an anchor to my ensemble. With the higher profile of a 'toon you are going to get moved across the water more in a breeze. As long as you can position yourself upwind from your honey hole, the anchor will save you a lot of energy and frustration.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Don't quite think I am ready to add an electric motor yet though. Maybe a couple more years of collecting grey hair and stiffer joints will change my mind. In the meantime, I ain't ready to pay more just to register a pontoon for a motor.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Yessir. I think that is a good addition to the well equipped flotation fisherman's arsenal. Can't pack it back into the mountains, but wherever you can launch close to your vehicle you should be able to launch and beach with ease.[/size][/#0000ff]
