The U shape for the X5 isn't a problem. The problem is the gas motor mounted on the open end. That is where the sturgeon are landed [
]
The biggest problem I have with this boat is not being able to use my gas motor and again if a guy did no where to land the sturg.
All the sturgeon I have landed on pontoons (over 160) have had dull scoots. For the most part they are not too dangerous for an inflatable boat. If I were catching ocean run fish under 6 foot I am not sure I would want to land them on my lap. Those ocean run fish have sharp scoots.
I had a rather slow year this year. Too much stuff getting in the way of fishing.
I took these two newbys out for their first Nantucket Slay ride.

Are you going to have a chance to come up and try your luck on a dino?
You need to tie up some flys on a 10/0 hook that have lead wrapped around the shank and the body is a sponge. Then get ready to get pulled around.
