The one in TD's post are still popular specialy up north west. I go to a Washington board that loves these things cause they are more along the lines of a Pontoon, but NO FRAME. And reasonablly light. The big down fall for them is the price! They are outrageous.
Scadden put out one we use to have called the Escalade, which from the side looked like an inflateable kayak. In side from seat back looked like a Super Fat Cat and the front was open, but the tubes connected in the front to form a V. It cuts throught the water nice and can be done with flippers of a paddle. Had a strap at the front for you feet and very light.
Now it is the Navigator II which is state of the art! Pontoon with no frame and a float tube at the same time with a motor mount.
Very similar to the H3 but the H3 measures 6' and the Navigator 9'
Most people around here fish stillwaters mostly with the Green being one of the closest rivers big enough for floating. That is why pontoons and tubes are the choice around here.
