[font "WST_Engl"][red]You know, I couldn't understand how anyone would prefer a float tube over a pontoon until you mentioned this. I guess it's cause like you say, the set up. I have two trailers, one big for the 11 1/2' ers and a small 4 foot trailer for the Echo or even the SFC cause I have a small SUV.[/red][/font]
[font "WST_Engl"][red] However, on long trips that we take the Van, we deflate one or both cardiacs and put them in the back (out of sight thing). Not that big of deal however with the pump we have, inflate takes 5 minutes for all four pontoons.[/red][/font]
[font "WST_Engl"][red]Small lakes that require walk in (Uinta's, Tibble) we do take our smaller tubes or pontubes, but have taken the bigger, just requires the wheel or two people to get them to the water, which, load everything (battery, anchor, oars, flippers, vest etc) on the potoons and make one trip.[/red][/font]
