"I have not doubt you are NOT Riverrat, just pointing out, he started that post and has been banned from sites for bashing other dealers to promote his own. Not cool business."
Thank You and as far as sites banning people I wonder what their financial interests are. I asked the same question on another site and got harshly warned LMAO.
"Not sure what you mean by more for fly fishers, what would be the difference? "
Almost everyone that I have met that likes and keeps them are Fly fisher er people, now not all but most. I have talked to quite a few that sold them and upgraded to the ones I described and granted their major use was rivers where there is no use for fins really.
Without the raise seat, the fins are used to steer for hands free fishing. I agree 100% and is of some benefit on flat water.As far as any current I can't see somebody trying to use fins to steer and fish. Actually in any type of raft,cataraft ect your not fishing thru whitewater / heavy current. More a means to get to the spot and then fish, either in or out of it.
Transport on a trailer which most of the ones I have seen 10 ' or longer are transported by some type of small trailer especially if using motors. Not that you could not cartop or put in back of pick-up.
I have tried the X-5 and an Avenger /an outcast that had the separated pontoon and a few others. I have been thinking / researching about this since last fall. I think I stated pretty honestly I like the X-5 design a lot. If I was fishing like you are I would not of looked any further and purchased an X - 5 and I think I stated that. Two things that changed my mind considering my use.
1 Quality difference for MY use compared to price difference.
2. Sales demeanor & response to questions.
I think the use was stated for rivers and possibly also some lakes, so I thought ( stupid me I should of asked first ) primary use was rivers.
I tried to give an honest representation of the differences between them and I stand by that.
