I can move extremely well with just fins in my VV. I've sat there and done 360's in my boat keeping a big fish moving the same direction till I was ready to land it.

There is an upgrade for the pontoons if you want the extra pvc coating you can get it, but the normal pvc coating does just fine, have i put holes in my VV, yeah, but I beat the crap out of my gear and a little hole never took me off the water early, ive lost air but the pontoons seem to equal out and can keep on rocking.

Get the VV and you will never regret your purchase they are the only kickboat that can be customized into a cadillac like Joe Castro's VV. They are the ultimate kickboat, just my opinion, but I know I'm not alone.
