[cool][#0000ff]You do not have to get the SUPER Fat Cat. The "plain" Fat Cat is a hundred dollars less because it has the foam seat and not the inflated seat. The ride is not much different and less muss and fuss with the foam.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]No doubt about it. The Fat Cat is a better craft, in terms of quality. Slightly larger too. Urethane air chambers instead of Vinyl (in the ODC).[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Not fond of the pretty blue color myself. I have been okay with the dark green. They do have a bright yellow model, for those who want to be better targets for the power squadron.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]If you wanna try before you buy, I will be happy to do a meetup on the water and let you jockey one around.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I use a Stearns two way pump and find it does the job just fine. Sure, I would rather not have to mess with it, but it only takes about a minute on every trip. I have used the 12 volt pumps you attach to the lighter of the car, and they take longer to get set up and put away than it takes to air the tube with a two way.[/#0000ff]
