It had a lot less floatation this this one appears to have and I didn't have much "freeboard" when on the water. The center seam on it cracked and it sank with TubeN2 in it. Fortunately we were in shallow water.[/#0000ff] [#0000ff][/#0000ff] [#0000ff]All I can say is that if someone wants all that, and a rigid hull too...GET A BOAT.[/#0000ff] [#0000ff][/#0000ff] [#0000ff]Thanks for posting it though. Veddy intermesting.[/#0000ff] [signature] Re: [TubeDude] Sweet Ride - Bassmaster-ND - 10-17-2006 Yeah its pretty much a boat. But I'd still trade in my tube for it []. I like how it has a built in trolling motor. [signature] Re: [Bassmaster-ND] Sweet Ride - flygoddess - 10-17-2006 [font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Those things have been around forever. Don't hear about too many people buying them however.[/size][/black][/font] [font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Advantage, you could drag it to the water like a regular boat.[/size][/black][/font] [font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Divantage, cannot transport very easily, and what does it weight. I don't trust the factory roof mounts on cars and SUV's (ask Poky-mon about his Durango).[/size][/black][/font] [font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Next, what do they want for these things? Keep in mind you Tubers, there is a thing called a Float Power[/size][/black][/font] [font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I know, I have one. Just put a deep cycle battery in the middle in a included battery box, then stick a Minn Kota in. Straps to any kind of float tube and deflates for transporting.[/size][/black][/font] [font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3] [/size][/black][/font] [signature]
