[Hello]

Hello Everyone,

 

Just thought I would say hello. I would like to thank everyone for contributing to this site, as it has been a wealth of information for a newcomer to Calgary such as myself. I must say that the people at fish tales were also eager to help me out, and had excellent customer service. Today was my first day fishing the bow, and I had a great time despite being skunked. Tight lines, and I'll see you on the water

No I went through NFO directly and paid $899 USD ( with extras thrown in). I think they are always on 'sale'

[Scadden Pontoon]

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.
