[cool]Thanks, Kiyo. Good thorough report. On the patent thing, I suspect that since these are made "offshore", there may be one manufacturer selling a similar design to more than one outlet. Then, again, some of the patent laws are lax enough that even a minor design difference can qualify a similar item to be considered NOT a patent infringement. At any rate, I think you probably discouraged most serious shoppers from climbing aboard the Daytripper...or its lookalike Phat Tube.
Do you have a rating on the Outcast Super Fat Cat? I just got mine and will be setting it up this weekend, with rod racks and sonar. I'll shoot some pics when it's all put together, and post 'em up. One new innovation this year that appeals to me is the air chamber seat and backrest. That makes for adjustable comfort and eliminates the aforementioned soaking up of water with the foam seats.
Are you getting on the water this weekend? If so, let us know where you go and how you do. GOOD LUCK.
We are loving the rain over here, but it is one front after another going through right now. That messes up the fish and makes for too much "surfing" for my tastes. But, if we can get some more water in the reservoirs, I can wait a week or two. Mid March is about when everything starts to break loose here anyway.
