yeah I went with kickinbass on his porta boat and it works fine. It's deffinately a small water boat. I wouldn't go on Powell with one. and it's more mobil than a float tube. I have been using pontoon kick boats and float tubes for most of my fishing and the porta boat was nice to be up out of the water and move faster. I would suggest if you can afford it to get a small outboard motor because the electric we had pooped out in the wind after several hours and it sucked rowing back to shore (I had to whine a little since KB out fished me that day). All things considered if you can afford a bigger boat "next year" I would hold out but they are a fine craft for the money. One other thing watch the seams for stress cracks that may develop after several years of use. Ask KB about that one.
