[cool][#0000ff]I almost think that the manufacturers are trying to influence our thinking by creating the illusion that inflatable is better. We have one each...Fat Cat and Super Fat Cat. TubeBabe prefers the foam seats on the Fat Cat and I have fished from it and find the foam just as comfortable...and a lot less bother. No need to inflate and deflate or to worry about leaks.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The primary advantage of the inflatable seats seems to be the "packability" factor. You can completely deflate the seats and pack your craft into a much smaller volume for traveling. Other than that I can see no reason to spend the extra bucks just so you can spend more time with the air pump on each trip.[/#0000ff]
