[cool][#0000ff]I knew guys who did that way back when we had round tubes...round STONE tubes. (Yeah, that old) No doubt it can move you along faster when the need arises.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I got two problems with it. First, I am of large girth and reduced physical agility. Old and chunky. Second, I like to fish between points A & B. The only reasons I could see for "motatin'" would be to get to shore faster in an emergency or to beat a fast approaching storm.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]It would also be more difficult in a fully pimped ride such as my Fat Cat. I would get all tangled up in the rod racks and utility rack. And what do you do with a basket full of kitties while you are thrashing the water to a froth...trying to go straight ahead. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Like a lot of things related to fishing, that method of propulsion is more of a novelty than a practical means of fishing from a float tube.[/#0000ff]
