I am selling my go to lake fishing platform only because Im saving up to convert my Adventure to Island status. This pontoon has unfortunately been discontinued and is no longer available, but comparable models include the Outcast PAC 9000 Series which retails for $1800.00  My Flats Raider will include a 27 lbs pound thrust Minn Kota tolling motor, 715 CA Deep Cycle battery, a battery box with charge gauge, a battery charger,  a wheel for transport, and the pump with valve adaptor. 
One of the cool features of this boat is the deck space. Two removable deck inserts can be found behind the seat and in front of the seat.  The deck behind the seat holds the battery and leaves room for cargo.  The deck in front of the seat is useful to contain excess fly line for you fly guys. Besides the fact that I don’t fly fish, I use fins so this deck gets in the way of my legs and feet.  To take advantage of the extra deck space, I simply lashed it to the front end of one of the pontoons.  This way I am able to spread out plenty of tackle and gear for easy reach.       
The pontoons each use two separate bladders; each with their own valves: an added safety measure in the event of pressure loss.  The valves are quite robust and feature a threaded valve cover.  The pump comes with a female end adaptor that snaps onto the valve stem for inflation.  The pump is duel action meaning it is inflating during the push and pull.  The nylon over the bladder is much more robust than any other tube I have seen yet.
The 27 lbs trolling motor is nearly over kill for this little rig.  On full speed it can be hard to control the direction, but with practice it can be steered precisely.  On low and medium speed it handles very well. The battery is sufficient for at least 4+ hours of continuous runtime on low and medium speed.  The battery box has a charge gauge. 
The padded bucket seat is quite comfortable to sit in for the entire day.  As I said, I am only selling this to fund the Adventure upgrade as I mainly fish the salt these days. This is hands down the best pontoon boat I have ever had.
