[black][size 3]Boy oh boy, Ktrout,[/size][/black]
[size 3]You might get all kinds of answers with your inquiry.[/size]
[size 3]The major difference between the two is portability. Most pontoons have a hard frame, which is more difficult to transport, or more difficult to assemble.[/size]
[size 3]There is a picture of a North Fork H3 above, and this is a craft that is kind of a "between" boat.[/size]
[size 3]The one advantage that pontoons boats have is the oars/electric motors, which make it faster to move around. Even though most "tooners" fish with foot propulsion, you can get to where you want to go, or get off the water faster.[/size]

[size 3]I personally like the idea of a toon, I purchased one, and the first trip I disassembled it, and after using it like that, I quickly learned that without a pickup, my Durango was not going to work. I purchased a small flat bed trailer, and used that for a while, but owning 1 toon is like owning 1 snowmobile. Fishing alone is no fun.[/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]So then, I bought a enclosed utility trailer, and with a complete rebuild inside, I can carry my 2 pontoon boats. That has worked real well. [/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]But recently, seeing the H3, and other products that are coming out of North Fork, I have considered a "between" craft. They have one that is coming up, that is like a large H3, with the option of both oars and elec. motor. It has a lot of appeal for me.(as an additional craft).[/size]
[size 3]Oh ya, one other thing that I like about pontoons is the fact that my hinie is out of the water. ha ha[/size]
