Hey there Onewhofishes,
Back again! I've got a WoodStream Stealthrider pointy bowed u-boat. It's OK. But... when you see how high the guys in the Kennenbeck and other pontoon-like u-boats, with their big fat bladders, ride and the fact that they can answer a certain call more easily, a feeling of envy comes over you.
Make sure your tube will carry more weight than you think you will ever carry. Why?! You'll aquire the following if you're like me.
2 rod holders
1 anchor/chain/rope
1 live bait tank (mounted or towed)
1 catch bag (expanding)
1 long handled net
1 gaff
1 nav light pole
1 flag pole with 12inch square red flag
1 PFD life vest
1 head lamp
1 fishfinder and mounting bracket
1 talkabout for communications
1 rod rack
1 set of flippers
1 pair of chest waders
1 whistle or air horn
Sun screen
Sunglasses or extra pair of glasses
1 Bottle of water and snacks
1 emergency inflator system for the tube
Oh Ya almost forgot!
rods and reels w/ safety lines
tackle boxes
And..... stuff I haven't even thought of yet!!!
Good Luck and hope to see ya on the water
