Have a pontoon with oars too. Water skeeter brand. Mine has an anchor system and can handle a small trolling motor. Yes, it can cover more water and I sit higher making for easier and farther casting. I still use the tube for about 70 per cent of my fishing but I hike into most lakes. The pontoon is a pain to carry long distance. I do have a wheel for it though.

I mostly troll with a clear intermediate line and indicator fish with chronies. And some casting to shore and when a hatch throw dries.
