All three of the kick boats mentioned are great boats to fish out of.
If you get a chace go out and try some of the different models. I can save you some money on a Bucksbag, but you really shouldn't worry about the one time investment in a product thats going to last you a long time. The VV is a great boat as are the Bucksbag. The water skeeter is a great entry level craft for a low price. The water skeeter will get you on fish and you'll have a great day floating around in one, I did for a while.

The VV is totally light weight and very durable and you can totally trick them out as Joe did. Check out Mr Lakes, that things a battle ship from what I hear. Im not sure how much they cost, but I have floated around in one and they're sweet. The magority of the B-N-T members have VV for a very good reason, they work great.

Then there's the Southfork 8' kick boat made by Bucksbag. It's the most rugged and stylish 8' pontoon boat on the market today! It is designed with both performance and economy in mind. From day trips down your favorite trout stream to fishing a mountain lake, these boats cover it all. The rotary-welded pontoon covers have 18oz.PVC coated polyester on top and 22oz. material on the bottom where most abrasions occur. The bladder is 100% polyurethane. The stainless frame is amazingly strong and corrosion resistant and offers adjustable footrest's and oar placement. They come standard with 6' aluminum breakdown oars with molded rubber oar stops, roomy weatherproof storage pockets, a large rear cargo deck. I also supple custom made alum diamond plate decks made to your spec's. They have a 5 year warranty. I have been using Bucksbag round tubes for 23 years and their float tubes stand above the rest. Now Im no kick boat expert as Iv'e only been using them for a few years now, but the VV and the Bucksbag really are top notch boat that will give you years of enjoyment on the water. If you would like I can take you out in a waterskeeter and a Bucksbag and let you really feel the difference between the two. I bet you'll pick the Bucksbag in a heart beat over the skeeter. One stroke of the oars and while you glide straight for an extended 4' to 6' in between each efortless stoke of the oars you'll see why almost 50% of the Sonoma County Belly Boat Bass Club has traded in all there other brands of kick boats for Bucksbag Southforks and Bronco's. Let me know if your interested and I'll shoot you some prices.
