Buck's are the best. I float the Henry Fork in Idaho, and the mighty Madison. Both awesome fishery's, with some tech. water. This boat handles it all, and I'm not the best oarsmen. Never had problems. I buy my boats from fishing outfitters, Who replace them biyearly or so. For the price. If anything goes wrong, I just get another. But there never is. Like ourselves, they jusy get old.

I have fished out of my friend’s Southforks for years. And found them the only way to fish almost all water. So we bought two of the incredible Southforks last year for Christmas. I love these boats. Even our dogs love these things. They sit on the back as we fish. They are nearly indestructible! I have exceeded what they were meant for many times over, and they just keep on performing. For example, I fished down a local Idaho River last summer, and another fellow fisherman, in a pontoon boat, made by another manufacturer (with an aluminum frame), came out of the same section of river with his frame curled up in the corners and the joints were very loosely connected as a result. Both my Buck's Bag boats, piloted in much worse fashion, by bigger people, held up just fine. To my knowledge Bucks Bags is the only manufacturer that makes a stainless steel frame. You can't have good results over time without a quality product. Even better they are made in the USA, right here in the Northwest. Good one there Bucks! Keep making a quality product that will stand the test of time!

I have not used other products, but I have watched others upgrade from cheap to quality many times. Don't buy cheap; in the long run it is more expensive.

Strength:

Size, Durable

Weakness:

Didn't come with brass oar locks...therefore, noisy when oaring.

Good boat for stillwater or current. Nice size to load or carry a short distance.

Customer Service

Buck's has terrible customer service. Things are not done when they say they will be done, and I've to send a pontoon back twice for the same problem. I won't buy another Buck's product due to the lack of professional customer service.

Strength:

The structural integrity of the boat is high. Very manueverable and comfortable for long halls.

Weakness:

Oar Locks are plastic and can break if reefed on too hard...

Excellent craft. I own 3 different boats and Bucks is clearly most well made.

Strength:

Easy to assemble. Has more available options (such as motor mount and anchor kit). Fun to use. Quality Materials and craftmanship. Fair price considering all the option I bought with the boat

Weakness:

A bit to manuverable using a trolling motor. Could use better documentation on assembly.

Agreat little boat for lakes, Creeks and streams. Easy to use

Customer Service

Cannot say enough good things about Bucks Bags customer service. Had a problem with a damaged boat and they sent me a new boat the very next day. Great people to do business with.
