I wanted to dig up this older thread to ask a few questions. Really this started for me at one of the first meetings that were had this past year with the local float tube club attempt that was made. In one of the first meetings we had a tube/toon show and tell and while there Flygoddess had one of her Scadden boats there to show and filled it up with a handheld 12v electric pump attached to a battery. I listened to her describe what she was doing to a few others and that included things like that she was intentionally not trying to use the pump to go to 100% full to avoid any risk to the craft and she instead used her k-pump to finish topping off the craft.
So with some funds I have burning a hold in my pocket, so to speak, I got looking around and saw the outcast blast pump and it reminded me of the above event. In looking for older posts on this topic I found this thread where you, Mojo, talked about getting a pump at the local shop and got wondering if that was the same pump I might have seen Flygoddess use at that event.
I did reach out to that local shot you listed but they seem to only offer pumps from "Bravo" or "Bravo by Scoprega".
So I'm bringing this thread to life again to ask others what they might choose to use to fill up to three or four float tubes up at the start of a days fishing that can get the job done fast enough to be worth the $, not overheat filling more then one craft, have a fair life expectancy, and any other points you think might be important to consider. Thanks in advance!
