Down to the final selection for my newest float tube and I need some input.
Bottom line, I fish mountain lakes a lot so I need/want something lightweight but yet that seats me out of the water as much as possible so I don't freeze my arse off. I have a smaller v-tube (too lightweight and very low in the water) and a pontoon (way too big to put on an ATV or hike into a lake for 1/4 mile). I use a bass boat on the big water, so we're talking pretty smallish lakes.
My first choice is the Scadden Outlaw Escape. Fits the bill and weighs in around 22 lbs. Maybe too heavy to lug for 1/2 mile, but I could hack it for a few hundred yards.
Then I saw a Outcast Super Fat Cat. It says "out of the water seating" and weighs in at only 12 lbs.
So question is how "out of the water" is it and how does it compare seating-wise to the other Fat Cats and the Scadden tube/toons?
Any other considerations, suggestions?
Inquiring minds want to know...
Thanks!!
