Does a float tube like this exists?

[cool][#0000ff]Over the years there have been a lot of "unique" float tube designs. Anything that does not appeal to the mainstream tuber...as a good fishing platform...is usually doomed to fail. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]While your idea seems like a good idea (to you), I cannot think of a single fishing trip I have made in 50 years where I would have used such a design. But, I do not fish moving water in my tube either. And, the percentage of tubers who might fish moving water, and want a footrest, is very small.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]In short, I doubt that intelligent manufacturers would invest the money on developing a prototype, tooling up and marketing such a craft. The potential market would be far too limited.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]There are craft on the market that are hybrids between tubes and boats. [url "http://www.waterstrider.com/"]HERE IS A LINK[/url][/#0000ff]
