		[cool][#0000ff]As you are probably aware, the Trinity is Outcast's entry into the lighter weight packable tube market.  They have a lot of Outcast goodies, but they have also cut some corners to pare down the weight.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have not had a chance to kick around in the new model Creek craft, but it looks good and the specs are good. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]It looks to me like Creek has tried to crank out a Fat Cat imitator at a very reasonable price. I don't know what kind of price you are getting, but the list is about $160. That's over $100 less than a Fat Cat.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I know that design is good, because I have been using the Fat Cats for a couple of years. If you are over 200 pounds, you will love the flotation. I like the seat design on the ODC 420 better than Outcast. They have wimpy back rests that kill your back after a day on the water. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]That's my input. Let us know which way you go.[/#0000ff]
