[quote UtahLakeCats]Nice! Yes those Cali FTFF guys do swear by the Cumberland. I've used several tubes (ODC 420 & Fish Cat 4) and I'd have to agree that it's a quality tube with plenty of room. One thing I like is that it has a thicker foam seat, so you're higher on the water than the Fish Cats. Be sure to keep us in the loop on your float tube adventures![/quote]
I will add some of this seasons escapades for sure.
I've inlfated the thing and added some reinforcement to the seat bottom and back. One of the few complaint's I HAVE heard about the Cumbee is the seat tends to bow after a long time in it. So I inserted some Coroplast panels with the ribbing running 90° to the direction of bend as stiffeninf.
o
I may also add one more piece of foam on the bottom of the seat, as further flotation support on the water. It may not be needed, I'll see.
Waders are the last thing to get: I'll probably send for those this week. Breathable types are where Im headed. Probably gonna get Frogg Toggs Hellbenders or Caddis Systems Deluxe.
