Pontoon boat recommendations

I'm hoping someone can help me choose a pontoon boat. I'm looking for a
relatively lightweight boat that I can load onto the roof of my wagon.
While I'd be using it mostly for lake fishing, I would also like to use it
on Class 1 rivers. It should have an anchor system and be
corrosion-resistant because I may want to use it in Puget Sound
occasionally. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Whichever type you get ( I have a Hobie Float Cat but I modified it so it
won't fit your needs) get Yakima racks with locks for your car top. Two
motorcycle straps will securely hold any pontoon boat and a good combination
lock will hinder thieves somewhat.

Good luck!

Consider the Buck's Bronco, specifically one with the casting
platform. They're rated to Class three (actually higher, but I would
be leary of that). The casting platform is great in still water, they
have tones of storage, dual air bladders in each pontoon and solid as
a rock.
Yes, you'll pay a bit more, this is the Caddy of pontoons, but they
last forever. Mine is 9-years old and has yet to have any problems
(not even a leak).

I would look at Outcast, Scadden and Bucks for good quality boats, new or
used.

They all have web sites.

There are lots of really cheap junky boats out there that aren't even safe.

I have two Scadden Boats and I swear by them. Bugcaster is also a
Scadden man I am pretty sure he appreciates his as well.

Will you be mounting an electric motor?

I'll jump on the Scadden bandwagon. I own a Skykomish Sunrise, and have
nothing but praise for it. I can load it on top of my camper shell, by
myself.

You Mean like RIvendell Boats, who owns the Brittish Reel Company in (NOW)
in China, and make the overseas boats for Outcast, plus a bunch of OEM?

I would find it surprising for the Boca Grande to say that Outcast make
unsafe boats when the Boca sells Outcast boats

I second what Frank said about the Bronco. It has a stainless steel
frame and an anchor system. I love mine.
