Sold the canoe…but you’ll have to pry my cold dead hands from My Toon!!!
“I’ve often wondered why it is that so many anglers spend so much money on,and pay so much attention to.the details on the wrong end of the fly line.If they took as much care in selecting or tying their flies as they did in the selection of the reel and rod,They might be able to gain the real extra edge that makes it possible to fool a fish that has,in fact,seen it all before” A.K.Best

Well, I pretty much have made up my mind to buy a YAK. The Pungo mentioned in a few of the posts is the one Yak in which I have spent some time so it is the way I will probably go. I will keep the canoe, such as it is and the toob also because they both have their place. I have looked at the new Hobies but I prefer a sit in to a sit on and the price is more than I can justify for a “fourth” fishing vessel.
Thanks for all who gave their considered opinions.

Clint,
I consider a pontoon the ultimate personal fishing craft. It can be fin powered for complete control and maneuverability leaving you hands free to fish. It can be rowed to cover distances with ease and speed. It is very comfortable and very stable. It can store a lot of gear. It can be fitted with a small motor. You can fish all day without spending most of it paddling or anchoring to fight wind or drift. A pontoon has the benefits of a float tube combined with a rowing craft and rowing is more comfortable for my back than paddling.
I have fished from all types of craft and the only one I don’t like at all, is the kayak. I have tried many types and sizes and I would rather not fish than fish from a kayak. They are OK for touring and sightseeing but I would rather use a pontoon for that too.
Do yourself a favor and try a pontoon.
