I have one and liked using it but have since moved to a larger 12' jon boat.

The good things about it are:

- it is small - fit in the back of my Ranger
- light - easily carried even with one hand/shoulder
- makes a great chironomiding boat

The bad things:

- its a little tight for space
- standing and casting is questionable
- really only good for one person
