Thanks for the info on NFO products, FG!
No doubt in my mind NFO is best quality with state of the art developments constantly evolving and coming at us. And American made, YAHOO! I'm glad they're here to offer their innovative products to customers.
The only thing NFO don't have is a super lightweight tube for packin, at low cost. Packin is a market where LESS is MORE and normally one would expect to pay a PREMIUM. You can carry 3 of the lightweight ODC "V" tubes for the weight of one Escape, and buy 4 or more for the same price as 1 Escape. Just sayin...
I'm eagerly waiting to see if that's a market niche which the small NFO Assualt will address with a higher quality product than the ODC.

[quote flygoddess]I don't see the price as a big of issue. You look at any USA made pontoon in the upper end and they are all equal in price.
It is just that NFO caters to the UPPER END and does not carry the entry level priced.
Just like Cadillac...[

They are NOT for everyone. But, I do believe you get what you pay for and this is the best it gets, this is coming from someone that has tried and owned others like Buck's, Leigh, Outcast.
Take a look at Hunters...ATV's, fancy guns...no one mentions prices there for great gear, just sayin'.
First there was Donuts, and we thought them to be a little pricie, then came the U tube...Ooooh nice, but even more pricie, but better. Then the V tube..WOW! over $200.!!!! but state of the art...and so it goes.[/quote]
