[cool][#0000ff]Go for the lightweight and the extra goodies.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]If you are careful about where you launch and return...and don't bounce your craft on broken glass, nails, stickers, etc...you should not sacrifice anything in potential damage to your tube. It always pays to be careful, no matter what kind of tube you have.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I fished from regular float tubes with simple nylon covers for many years. Never had a PVC bottom on any of my craft until I got my first Super Fat Cat. The only leaks I ever developed were my own fault...or happened when spiny fish got "up close and personal" with an air chamber.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Good luck and let us help if you need it.[/#0000ff]
