If you have a dog or a grill that that you want to take out on the water, you probably can't on a rental. I rented one in Blue Ridge for a friend's birthday party and we couldn't have either. We had to do sandwiches and leave the pets behind. We did have plenty of beer though.
Also, draft is almost nothing with a pontoon. Perfect for rivers or lakes.
