Default Just bought a Wilderness 9 ft pontoon boat from Costco and have questions

I read the reviews on it and watched the youtube videos and it seems like a good pontoon boat. They are on sale at Okotoks for $329.00 right now.
So here is my battery of questions.
Does anyone on here have one?
If so am I in for any surprises?
Do you wear your waders when you float or just a pair of jeans?
Do you deflate the unit every time you are finished for the day?
Do they handle being pulled up on shore well or do I have to lift it up and out of the water?
This is my first pontoon and as a cautious person I have no interest in learning the hard way, or by fear, or by accident, so any of you that would like to pass on some sage advice, I would deeply appreciate it.
Yes I will always wear a flotation device. I'm short, fat, and swim like a shot duck.
