[QUOTE="Blackdog416, post: 4188486, member: 15756"] We have two different brands that I use for work purposes. One is an older model Aire 8' cat-a-raft model the other is an older Buck's Bag's 8' model. Of the two I like the Aire model best. It's weight with the pontoons and a little gear is around 56 lbs. I use it on rivers/ streams to access portions of the water that flow thru long stretches of private property. The big differences I see is the quality of the oar locks and the toughness of the pontoons outer material and quality air bladders. You get what you pay for. We chose the 8' models purely as a weight savings issue over the 9' models. We didn't need the extra pontoon length hence extra weight. Easier to drag thru shallow water and pick up and carry for short portages. We use them on mid sized streams, both spring creeks and freestone rivers with mild gradients. I have run them thru spring whitewater run-off. It would be a great tool for fishing. Several of our locals saw us using them over the last 18 years and now we see them out on the river in theirs.
