Default Outcast 10IR standup?

Anyone use one of these? I am thinking of getting one this year and looking for reviews - especially about the stand up feature. Thanks

nice boat once you take off the stand up feature....

It sucks and plows water if you're travelling to and from location with an electric motor. If the selling point for you is the stand up feature... dont get your hopes up. I had one for 2 years and took the stand up platform off, because it was so useless. Traded it for a pram. Best thing i've ever done.

I've been in a fishcat 9, and a 10ir and a panther. The 10ir beats them all in terms of stability, carrying capacity and storage. That being said, pontoons suck in general in terms of storage. Like i said, awesome boat once you take the standing feature off of it...

Thank you for the review! I was looking for a ptoon with a good stand up feature and also to use an electric motor. The platform planing seems to be a common problem with this model.

If you're looking for a standup model go have a look at what dave scadden has. His boats are the cats meow. Great pontoon boats and rafts. A little pricey, but you wont experience any problems with his stand up models that are experienced with the 10ir.

Thanks but those are a little out of my price range. Pulled the trigger on a 9IR today at WSS - good time with the sale!

I got the PAC 900 a little over a year ago. Well worth the money.

Default pontoon

If you decide on a FishCat 9IR I have one for sale. It's been used 3 times and still looks brand new. If you are interested I'll send you some pictures. The new ones are around 900 bucks, mines 700.
