I can't knock the VV as they seem to be excellent craft but none of you guys have let me take a ride so I don't have a feel...yet.

I've had my Bronco for three years now (mine is 8ft but the new one is 9ft) and cannot say a bad thing about it. It is extremely quick, manuverable, sits high on the water and resists puntures like no tomorrow. The price is up there with the Versa Vessel but since there are many more shops that carry it, you can probably get a better price than retail (as I and my buddies have). In addition (the VV might have it to) mine has the dual bladders per pontoon, a great safety feature.

I've also taken in down rivers and it has performed like a dream. It's actually rated for Class III rapids but that seems a little scary to me (and I've done my share of class V in a raft).

It's easy enough to mount a livewell, fishfinder, and tons of tackle as I have.

I'm not sure how many of the VV people have used a Bronco but they might be suprised with it. I would personally love to try the VV and hope to in the near furture.

Overall, I would not hesitate to buy another but will probably not have to in the near future!
