hi, i'm in need of some opionions. i don't own a pontoon boat and have never used one....but i'm thinking of buying one. i will be making the purchase from cabelas so i'm kinda limited to their selection. after look at what they had i'm kinda leaning towards the Creek Company ODC 916. it's 550.00 and about 30.00 for shipping. anybody have any opionions they're willing to share?

also, anybody know anything about the fish cat panther. this is about the same price and has the quad tubes. says it's lower profile and tracks straighter.

i was also looking at the fish cat 9. i'm kinda leaning towards the ODC cuz of the warranty and the fact that it's an aluminum frame. how much of a problem is rust in a steel frame? i like the fact that with aluminum i don't have to worry about that EVER. i realize aluminum might not be able to take the beating of steel but i don't really plan on doing any whitewater or anything crazy like that.

ok gonna stop my rambling. thanks for any input or thoughts you might have.
