[/#ffffff][/url][blue][size 1]Hey DJR, here is a pic for the benefit of anyone who might like to relate to what we are talking about. The specs I pulled up on it are that it is rated for 350 pounds and it retails for about $275. It has a good reputation among float tubers and is well made...in spite of the fact that you have a failed seam. Most craft suffer an occasional seam failure...especially on the pockets if some dufus tries to stuff too much tackle or gear in the pocket and then zips it shut under pressure.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]At 15 pounds, it is considered heavy for making any long pack-in trips, but you should be able to trudge it in a ways to a good launch spot by balancing it on your head.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]The fins are important. They need to be large enough to accomodate your waders without constricting your feet. That makes for cramping and will make your feet get cold faster in chilly water...lack of circulation.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]I got your PM and will send a few pages on the basics to get you primed. [/size][/#0000ff]
