My dad had one when I was a kid. It was a mutha to control in the wind and it only had a 40-hp motor, so it was slow. But we had a lot of fun on that thing. It had 2 fishing seats up front. A trolling motor between them. Huge livewell/seat right behind them. Table, couch and a sun deck in the back. We fished and duck hunted out of it. My bro killed 2 deer and brought them out on it. It was good old days. Dad kept it at Guntersville Boat Mart so no worries trailering. I might get one set up like that again when I’m 70.

Have fished from one for 15 years. Had a 22 ft pen put on a 24 ft pontoon. Lots of room on front deck. I stand up fishing. Live well, depth finder (have a 12V and really need 24). Wind is definitely a problem, but you learn to cope with it. I can fish out of it a lot longer than a bass boat. Also, I feel a lot better the next day.. Almost impossible to own 2 boats living in a condo. I fish a lot of schooling areas away from the bank so staying in the right position is not as important except during a few months out of the year. A stable and large boat is a benefit for us geriatric set. BTW, it's also a good music, beer, float around boat.

I've got a 48v trolling motor with depth lock and auto pilot on the deck boat. It still can't fight the current on a windy day. I've finally talked the family into selling it. It was never anything but a money pit for me. Probably hang onto it until spring and then cut it loose. I'd rather pond fish anyway.

I have a Weers Fishing center console pontoon with a 36 volt trolling motor and four chairs. It works great but my motor just bit the dust but plan to put a new Suzuki on her before next spring.
