i’ve found a Tieton II pontoon in my area for $175 which is on sale for $299 at sams club. I want to know if anyone has used, heard reviews or knows anything about this craft. another thing to consider is that I’ll be living on a 3rd floor apt, when disassembled should i be able to carry this up stairs or will it still be too heavy? thanks forgot to mention, this is a used one. “never leaked and just sat in the backyard.” here’s the link : [http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/boa/662707226.html](http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/boa/662707226.html) ---

_I don’t know in which grographical area you live, but I would be very wary of buying any inflatable that had been stored in someone’s back yard._ \*\* _Sunshine, temperature changes, and barometric pressure changes all have negative effects on them._ \*\* ---

\*\*\*I am no expert but Id agree with saberfish on being cautious of something like this being left out in the weather.. there is a _**[second listing on craigs list](http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/rvs/663560448.html)**_ of the same item but new out of the box.. or .. if the reviews here are good Id go for the new one you mentioned at sams club.. \*\*\* * * * _ **MacFly 🕶** _ ---

\*\*\*just an added side on this.. when I looked this item up it was listed along with the other ca toons.. it also specifically said it had the unsinkable double toons as those in the ca line.. plus.. and it may be my eyes.. this tieton II looks almost identical to the ca madison that I think was discussed here before..
