Hello.
I am in the market for a float tube, and wanted to ask the opinions of others. I have used a friends float tube before, and i do own a water skeeter pontoon boat.
Let me start off by saying i`m a big guy (6 foot 240). I use my pontoon boat, but find it too difficult to bring into the back country to fish remote lakes. I have tried a friends float tube. It was a donut type. Overall I found it comfy, but did not like how I was so close to the water. It was hard on the shoulders having to keep my arms up so high. Another thing I found (not related the float tube). Is that after awhile in the water, it seemed like the flippers were getting WAY to tight on my waders and cutting off circulation. Is this a common problem?
I have been researching and seem to like the outcast prowler and Water Skeeter day tripper. Pricey, though. Looking for thoughts and opinions. Also, any flippers are better then other and would be more comfortable.
