Jimmy-
Probably not the answer you want, but I would suggest a bassbuster AND a jon boat. I find that the 'buster is great for fishing, while the jon is much better (and more stable) for working around the pond (i.e. sinking structure, cleaning out wood duck boxes, etc.). If I had to choose one, I would go with the jon. It may not be as comfortable, but it is more versatile.
