    A Minnkota with Spotlock is the best money I've spent on my boat. I'd take the fish finders off the boat wayyyy before Spotlock.

    Book a day with Rich Bay (Bigbaddad) who is a guide on Kentucky Lake and a sponsor here on CdC. He fishes from a fully outfitted pontoon and the cost of the trip would be well worth your time and money to see the ideas he has come up with. Plus you get to fish a day on Kentucky Lake.

    I've been considering buying a fishing pontoon/tritoon. I think they give you much more space and they can fish deep water as well as fairly skinny water. They would also allow me to take out more people than the two I'm limited to now.

    What kind did you buy, how big, how much motor?

    Buy a tritoon if it is in your budget. Very stable in the rough waters of Kentucky Lake. And Clint, thanks for the accolades!! I still owe you a trip....got some free time finally in June. JRJ we can take a trip or if in the area call me and I can show you my setup. I have actually had two others set their boat up like mine. We also have alot of fun on the KnB pontoon!!

    I purchased a 24ft Tracker Party barge with a 115hp motor, double toon . It has the two fishing seats outside of the railing.
