Hi guys,
Thanks for all the responses again. I ended up buying the hybrid, just 'cause it cost $100 CAD (vs. the Fish Cat, which was going for $200)... It was basically the cheapest, non-"inner tube type" floatation device I could get right now, which I figure should serve as a good intro. boat...
The fly shop in my area only rents the round tubes (for $20), and pontoons ($50), so I figured that by the time I tried both of them out I would have already have this one paid for (if it doesn't live up to my expectations, which it shouldn't (based on Pon's post), I can always post it up on craigslist.com and maybe recoup some of what I spent)...
I'm going on a lake-fishing trip from the 24th-26th so I'll probably take it for it's first wet run that weekend (but maybe I'll even try it out next weekend if it the weather's nice).
I'll post up again in a couple of weeks and let you guys know how it worked out.
Cheers,
Rob
