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

[plinker]

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.

I bought one last year....

I like it, I mounted an electric to it and it's kind of not ergonomically made to steer comfortably with a motor mounted...I wear my waders and a PFD. It's not too bad to drag, I strap it down to my hard top truck box cover fully inflated...it travels well. I leave it inflated and have a roof hoist set up in my garage which is where it lives when I don't use it.

Was looking at them last nite in same store. Looks very interesting and price is attractive.

Good enough for pothole lakes?

My buddy and I also have this pontoon. I used it maybe 20 times last year with nothing but good experiences. The only issue I have is that it always seems like the air pressure is a little low, i'm a big dude but sometimes it feels like I can't fill the pontoons with enough air.

I'm 6' and 170lbs.

How many bllader chambers does it have?

I am 6ft 205lbs, had a battery and electric motor on and never felt unsafe. Keep the proper hand air-pump on board with you and you can adjust pressure on the fly.

I'm really not sure. I'm 6'4 240 lbs and I feel like I sit a little bit too low in the water but it's never been bad enough to be concerned.
