Fish Cat vs Scadden

[orvis1]

Since I have or have had all three tubes we are talking about I will tell you my opinion. The scadden escape is by far my tube of choice. You sit almost all they way out of the water and can row just like a pontoon but in a portable package that can be inflated. You can get the motor mount and rear decking and have a motor but it is a little tight for that. I have packed my scadden with some modified backpack straps. It can ride on the front rack of a wheeler with no problem. But it is not the tube for hiking in several miles. I have a fish cat deluxe for hiking in with the inflatable seat. I have a backpack that I stuff it and my gear in and hike in to lakes with. I like it a ton more than the ODC tube because it has the valves sewn into the fabric compared to the ODC tube you have to line them up. To many time pumping up then twisting deflating was frustrating. But you can get the ODC cheap on e-bay and it is light to pack in. So if you can afford it do both. If not you will have to decide what you do more of hike in fishing or drive to ride up to fishing. I will be out at vernon reservoir camping this weekend shoot me a PM today if you are interested you can come out and kick both around and see what you prefer.
