[cool][#0000ff]There are a lot of specials during the winter, if you keep your eyes open and a few dollars tucked away for a fast move.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Shoot me a PM and I can offer some ideas for you. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]One thing I might throw out for general comment and opinions is that you might be better for both of you to start with tubes, to get used to the basic concepts. Sam will be able to handle a tube, but I doubt if she could function with a toon yet. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]There is almost always someone on the board "upgrading" or selling off a tube they no longer use. Getting a good "gently used" craft can save money that you can use when you decide that a pontoon works better for you.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Knowing the kind of fishing you like, I can't see where you really need much more than a little floatation to get you out to different spots, or to allow you to fish in areas that are not overcrowded. In most cases that does not require oar power, and the lighter weight and smaller size of tubes make them much easier to transport too.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Give me a shout if you ever wanna try a tube. I can meet up with you and put you afloat for a test drive. Just gotta warn ya that you will never be happy "bankin'" again.[/#0000ff]
