I have a pontoon boat too. I bought it after I had the Fat Cat for a year. I wanted to cover more water in the Delta.

The Fat Cat is as fast as any craft that is propelled by kicking with fins, but it can't touch a pontoon boat with oars. Kickboats with oars are MUCH faster.

The best attribute of the Fat Cat vs. a pontoon boat is that it is smaller, lighter, and more portable. I like it for quick evening trips after work.

The pontoon boat is far superior if I'm going to cover water and must move more quickly. It is bigger and has more storage capacity. I sit higher out of the water.
