[cool][#0000ff]The only REAL way for you to KNOW whether or not you should go FAT is to kick around in one. I have done both the FC4 and SFC and to me it is really noticeable...the difference in size and floatation. On the Fat Cats you have a longer front extension on the air chambers (more front stablity and floatation), bigger pockets and you will sit slightly higher in the water. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]TubeBabe has always preferred the foam seats of the regular Fat Cat, while I have had the SFC. Other folks we have let borrow one or the other always say they are the biggest and best ride for the money. As with all craft, they require some tweaking to get the adjustments just right for your own personal preferences, but there IS a significant difference in the ride over an FC4...especially if you are over 6 feet and over 200 pounds.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Lots of good sales on eBay or on discount websites. Once you decide what you want, keep the browser going until you score a good deal. No need to pay full retail, unless you are concerned about after the sale service. In that case, Cabelas or Riverwire are two good sources.[/#0000ff]
