[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3][black]smallmouth89, seeing how you posted this instead of PM Tube, I would like to take a stab.[/black][/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]You say you have a Kayak and a float tube, how do they differ in the water, other than flippers?[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]You don't sit that high in a pontoon. You will be in the water from mid calf down. Therefore flippers work. You have less water resistance in a pontoon than a float tube also (two paralelle tubes compared to on big V or U)[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]When I use my oars I fly. Wind will effect the pontoon a little more, but with wind is waves and I feel I get beat up more in a tube, plus you can row when legs get tired. I do feel I can move more easy in my pontoon even in a head wind.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]You fly fish, the pontoon gets you up a little hire and your elbows aren't resting on anything, easier to strip.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I bet you fly in your Kayak, now ad the fact that you can move with flippers instead of HAVING to row and keep that line in the zone longer.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Just my $0.02 worth and yes, I have a SFC also.[/size][/black][/font]
