I just put in an order for a Madison ST. I was originally going to go with an outcast discover 9 IR, but decided against it because it didn't have urethane bladders. I did quite a bit of research before ordering and decided to go Scadden for a number of reasons. I like how Scadden pontoons have a deck and lean bar that can be put away. I also like that these pontoons are rated for class IV and class V rapids. Judging my the videos and pictures on his site, I believe him, but I wont be taking mine in these types of water... at least not intentionally. Urethane bladders are also suppose to last longer and not be as affected by altitude and temperature changes. When I phoned to place my order, I talked to Dave directly and he was nice enough to include a stipping basket and powder coated rear deck-supposedly to prevent discoloration from deck- free of charge. To ship the boat, dave thought that it would cost $50-70 dollars. I do wish that the boat came with a pump. I am interested to see what you end up going with. I now have to wait patiently until my boat arrives. I will post pictures and will give a review once I have had some time on the water.
