About 5 years ago I got a creek company 8' ODC sport xl. I might be selling it due to purchasing a drift boat yesterday, but I'm not sure yet...it still has it's place for high lakes. I have had no problems with it until this year, I got a leak in the pontoons, I think it was due to not putting it away properly, and storing it in my vehicle on a hot 100+ degree day. I have had no issues with it, and it was $200. Served me well for river use as well, handles very good.
