I was getting really upset that my pontoon was falling apart. I had only bought it last year. Well while up in bishop i got to try my buddies inflatable kayak and i love it. The best part was that i could cram it into my little car and not worry about storage. So i have ben saving up and i got the two seater so that when my son gets a little older he can enjoy fishing with me. Maiden voyage is tomorrow out of Newport. I cant wait.

Is it possible that there is a correlation between cramming your toon into your car, and it falling apart? Just wondering.
Did you cram yout toon into the car also? Trailer it?

I had a cimerron pontoon from classic accessories. Everything kept breaking including a hole in the bladders that keeps coming up in the same spot. The only good thing is that the company is being really cool. Everything broke the paddles bent while going down the owens. The bladders popped and the frames broke at the joints due to bad welding both on convict. I replaced the bladders and they ended up popping in the same place on another lake with my friends. I am definitly not happy with it.


As for cramming it into my car. No this would not have hurt it due to that i had a huge canvas bag that i took the whole thing apart and it would take up about 75% of my back seat. Still enough room to get my buddies float tube in as well.
