I can offer pros/cons for owning a raft. I bought a used NRS Otter 13.5 with a fishing frame last year. So far I have logged 18 trips on it and honestly everyone of them has been a blast. Having the ability to take people out fishing with you is pretty awesome. Prior to buying a raft, I did the kayak thing for a long time which also is great but definitely made it harder for me to take out less experienced people.
Pros:
1. You have the potential to get into a lot of fish in them (or put people into a lot of fish).
2. You can fish comfortably while standing.
3. Not too bad to drag if you bottom out which will happen in the summer on some stretches.
4. Safely fish year round with proper gear / flows. You could do this with a kayak too but IMO, it's a lot nicer in a raft/boat.
5. Interested in taking your mom/grandmother out smallie fishing? It's a lot easier to be in a raft than a kayak/canoe.
Cons:
1. Shuttling sucks
