Buying a Pontoon

[cpierce]

Looks like a good boat. Bucks has a good reputation. Here are some reviews from outdoorreview dot com They are older, but they should be about the same for the one you are looking at.

Summary:
Nicely designed workhorse of a boat. Durable. I rented the 8' when I was trying out different boats. Very good overall at a reasonable price. I opted for the PAC 9000's and 1000 as they are a step above though at a bit of a premium.

Summary:
A very nicely made boat that assembles and disassembles quickly. It handles well on the water and is well balanced. It is a very stable fishing platform.
Customer Service:
The best part was the customer service. I had some problems with this boat, and they were handled swiftly and professionally.

Summary:
I bought my Bronco Extreme 9' last summer and have used it about 10x. The stainless steel frame seems very durable and the welds were done right. The pontoons are very rugged, and my impression is that Bucks Bags products are just well made. My father purchased the BB Adventurer 9' for $399 and is amazed at the quality.

Reviewed by: John , 50+ days a year , from Spokane, WA
Summary:
Previously owned entry level Waterskeeter. Purchased Bronco on "close-out". Seat & frame sits higher than on Waterskeeter...less drag & better rock dodging. Easier rowing..sensitive maneuvering. Lots of storage, more than needed for day trips with all pouches on. Frame a little bit difficult to assemble. Manuf. could provide more info on assembly & positioning of frame vs. tubes in order to properly balance. Would prefer it would come with 7' oars & rod holder.
Customer Service:
Haven't used them yet....guess that's a good thing, :-).
