Default looking for a fishing pontoon boat

I am looking for a pontoon boat with 2 fishing swivel seats up front (inside railing hopefully) and 1 or 2 in the back. I was about to buy a Crest Family fish, but the guy decided against selling it! Any others you would recommend? I am wanting a used pontoon around $10,000 or less.

Any help would greatly be appreciated!!!!

Thanks,
Larry

there are many brands, that have that set up. but i recommend that the fishing seat be outside the bow rail, the rail gets in the way really bad. if you find a good deal on one that is not set up the way you want, do the changes yourself.

As Tashasdaddy said, just about every 'toon builder offers fishing models. I can't remember many with a single pedestal seat on the stern deck though. So more likely you will end up with a 4 poster. If you are new to 'toons, I think the tricky bit is to not overestimate how many people can be carried. A big crowd will need a big 'toon. Here are links to some more 'toon threads that may give you ideas -

I'm considering the same setup and Bass Pro Shops has that setup in an 18 and 24 foot versions. Bently also has 18, 20, and 24 footers. As for the front and rear seats inside or outside the rail, consider that carefully. If you have youngsters there is nothing to keep them from going overboard. I've fished from both and much prefer the seats inside the rail as you can ride in them while underway. Not so when the seats are in front of the rail. There are many other manufacturers that have fishing seats in front but not at the stern.
