[cool][#0000ff]Relax, son. Breathe through your nose. You will get there just fine.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Congrats on joining the floatation fraternity. You need to come spend some time on the float tubing board. Look at the past links in [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=184642;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread"]BEST OF THE BEST[/url] and look at the purty pitchers on the [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?forum=130;"]PICTURE BOARD[/url]. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Once you get some basic ideas, post up your questions on the tubing board and we will all try to help you get set up. Depending on where you live, you might also wanna try to get together and I can look at how your fram and strap arrangement is set up, and offer some ideas and suggestions for the rod holders, sonar and all that stuff. Every craft seems to be made just a bit differently and everybody has their own ideas about what they want and how they want it.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The one thing I will suggest is that you take your new pride and joy out on the water without tackle and without a motor first, to get a feel for it and how it handles. Once you get to know it better, you will have a better idea of how to "trick it out".[/#0000ff]
