I own a waterskeeter. I have used this kickboat for 3-4 years now and never had any troubles with the pontoons or the frame. BUT, I must say that there are issues with this boat compared to a Versa Vessel. First I have to say I have never owned a Versa Vessel, but I have fished with a bunch of the guys in Bass-n-tubes that own them and that is where I get my experience of them from. There are two major differences that I know of, one: The frame on a waterskeeter is metal, compared to the aluminum frame of the VV. VV is much lighter. Second: On a waterskeeter you are limited to the amount of wieght you carry, meaning the livewell wieght. this is mostly due to the lack of being able to adjust the position of the frame on the pontoons. On the VV you are able to move the center of gravity and in turn adjust the carrying load(livewell)on the pontoons. Where as with a waterskeeter, you can carry a livewell, but what happens is once you get enough water in the livewell the back of the boat sinks low into the water and makes it hard to paddle. VV doesn't have this problem because of the adjusting of the center of gravity and also because the pontoons are larger in Diameter.

A plus for the Waterskeeter is that it is cheaper $$. $400.00 compared to $800.00 for a VV.
