pelican predator dlx vs. rhino 10 - small fishing boats?

[BigOrangeXJ]

I am looking to spend $1k or less on a small hard plastic fishing boat. I have narrowed it down between three models. At first I was looking primarily between the Pelican Predator DLX (http://www.directboats.com/20prdlx1.html) and the WaterQuest (or BassTender or Bass Hound) 10.2 (http://www.directboats.com/basstender102.html) which I can get for only about $60 more. Can anyone recommend between these two. I talked to a rep at the company I was going to order from and he actually recommended the Rhino 10 instead (http://www.directboats.com/20perh10fibo.html) because it's suppose to be a little more stable and have more leg room. Can anyone that's had these or been in one of them give me some input?
Thanks

Interesting. To me the boat in the second link looks the roomiest. Perhaps the Rhino 10 is most stable because of it's more pontoon-like design. Based on nothing, I think the second one is the coolest. These things seem to have come a long way from those little Coleman jobs they made years ago.

i had a 10-2 Bass Hound. never again. they are great if you are the only boat on the water. like a lake, in an apartment complex, small pond. they have a very limited use.

well i dont know if you made a decision but opted for the scorpio although if i had the money i would have went with predator or the dlx.
