[cool][#0000ff]You never know unless you try something whether it will work or not. You bought your system in good faith, hoping it would do what you wanted. And, it did. Just not as well as you had hoped. After seeing the V-tube system you now have a basis of comparison and can make a better informed decision.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Lots of cheapie Griggs, Caddis and Creek company Uboats and V tubes on the second hand market. As long as the bladders are good that's all you need. Easy to make the frame and tie downs. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I definitely am happy with the simplicity but functionality of my new ride. And with the pockets and extra storage area on the tube I have a lot of options for carrying more gear or even all of the stuff for a float camp trip. I have some dry bags and some bigger plastic bins. I could even mount a large cooler on the front. The key is to do away with the upright backrest and just make a flat platform from front to back. I unbuckled the side straps on my back seat and just laid it back into the hole behind the seat.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Once you decide what you are going to do, and find a new "power craft", feel free to bring it by for some assembly assistance. Also, I have a bunch of plastic container lids that you can choose from for a rigid apron (sushi board). That's also something you can find aplenty at Saturday yard sales.[/#0000ff]
