I have a couple of the Creek Co Sport and Sport LT's. I would not recommend them. My son likes his and it is light but they don't have PVC covers and they don't handle extra weight well at all.
I had a Sportsman's warehouse 9' and it was a fantastic boat. I used it to float the Snake river MANY times. We got into some class II splashers a few times. The Creek Co sport handled them too.
I sold the 9' to a friend that would not take no for an answer. I then got a 10 foot Sportsman's. I like this boat a lot. It is a little slower to turn an takes a little more Ron power to kick and turn but it will handle a big load of gear.
The PVC covers are mandatory in my book. Just think about dropping a walleye, perch, crappie, or a small catfish. I could see one of them giving the pontoon the old spiky fin-a-ru. The older Sportsman's models have HEAVY PVC covers. My 10 foot is 900 denier on top and 1200 on the bottom. That gives me some peace of mind about accidents.
They are made by Outcast and I would easily buy some of their other models.
If I were Donald trump and could afford what ever I wanted I would get a NFO X5. I would put a 5 hp outboard on the back and a 50 pound thrust electric on the front and I would be set. Ron
