#21226, "Got Versa Vessel?"


  

          

Not even half of the boats?
I think were around 14 or 15 of these boats?

Maybe with the extra time will have on the Delta Open
we could get a few pics of EVERYONE and their float crafts together?

This may be a question with an obvious answer for some but I am looking for my first pontoon boat and would like to know what makes the VV so superior over ODC, Fishcat, water skeeter, etc. It seems that the VV are roughly 2x the price of the top of the line from other companies.

theres no obvious answer to that and some will disagree. The VV has been tried and tested by a lot of BNT guys. I know I have put mine through hell and back and its still a fish'n machine. Some can vouce for how I take care of my equipment, not good at all.

They sit out of the water a little higher then the rest as well as the frame design is awesome and extremely durable. Its been reffered to the cadillac of kickboats its like this. someone who wants a cadi but can only afford a chrysler gets a chrysler and still loves it, but its not a cadi.

(Some can vouce for how I take care of my equipment, not good at all.)

Not for the light hearted: My second time out with my new my boat.
John and I dragged our boats threw a 25 yard stretch of tree lay downs,
over a dirt/rock levee to get into some untouched fishing water.
My heart almost gave way hearing a lot of the branches breaking as we made our way
through the thick of it. For the first five or ten minutes in the water I was in shock
and paying close attention to see if I could hear any leeks. Nope! Later that day I washed
the boat up and she was as good as new. I’m still real happy with the investment
I made with the Outdoor Engineering Versa Vessel. 6 years and counting

Ever since that trip I've been on a baby be nice to boat kind of thing.
Other than having my boat fly off the top of a SUV or the times I drag it over the rock barrier or the time...:)
She's still looks and rides great. MY CADDI ;)

A well build boat for the money and my needs

It's all about the pontoon design. VV is the only company I know of that is not using a "rocker" style pontoon. The rocker style pontoons are great for white water. But we don't fish white water. We fish still waters and we put heavy livewells on the back of these boats. Those livewells will tip other boats if you're not sitting in it. The VV's will not. They are the most stable pontoon design made.

Use any frame you want. Just put VV pontoons under 'em!
