For a good entry level boat Creek Company's ODC 816 is hard to beat.
Cabelas has them on sale right now...

Whatever you decide on though try to get an aluminum frame it won't rust and your back will thank you for it.
Here's a link to an awesome pontoon/float tube club based in your area.
http://www.bass-n-tubes.com/index.html
Check out the photos section, particularly the kickboat and float tube rigging gallery to see what some people have done to their pontooons.
The calfishing.com float tube/kickboat forum is the official forum of the Bass-n-Tubes club so post your questions there and you should get plenty of help.
Next years schedules should be coming out soon!
