My wife spent many months pondering and looking at different tubes before she deceded. So when mamatrout finally decided upon the tube she wanted I knew it would be right. She is 5' 1" at 115 lbs. and wanted the FC4. She chose the foam seat over the inflatable. She fits in it fine and I even found a way to attach a small minnkota 30 to it and she loves it. The Fat Cat series is made for the larger angler. I am 215 lb and 5' 11" and I would take the fat cat over the fish cat 4 due to my size and what I would put on it. Think of what you will be adding to the craft weight wise when you trick it out and carry all your gear then go with the one that will hold it. I would think the FC4 should do you just fine. Now he difference between the inflatable and the foam seat I believe is a personal preference. My wife didn't like the seat due to she needing a little more back support so I took a plastic lawn chair, cut off the legs and it fits in the seat just fine attached with a bungy cord. She like the stability of the backing of the chair as well. Hope this helps! Here is a pic!!!! Well lets make it two pics. One of my wife and the other of just her tube.
