WTB- single pontoon!??
I am in the market for a single person pontoon. Something in the 9ft size. I have $280 to spend. I do know what a good brand is vs a bad one. So please, don't try to screw the pooch please.
Fishing is the life of past, present, and hopefully future. We must keep it a live! C&R!

A person named Brianna Bruce posted one for sale on the Northwest Kokanee Addicts Facebook page. $200. Its a Wilderness, don't know if that meets your good brand or not.

Re: WTB- single pontoon!??
I got mine at Costco last year, not sure if they have them this year. It is a Wilderness brand, basically the same model they had at Cabelas, but for $300 instead of $650. The only difference I saw was the Cabelas model had a nicer guides and stops for the anchor, not worth the extra $350.
I found you do have to get the pontoons pretty stiff even though they warn you about not overinflating. The first few times I used it I did not put in enough air and as the pontoons cooled they lost some pressure (you know like Tom Brady's deflating balls!) and that maid rowing much more difficult.
I have added an electric trolling motor this year.
If that one is still there for $200 and is in good shape, they are decent for the price. These are actually rated for class 1 rapids, while most similar models are only for lakes and still water.
