How cool would that be to own one of these or to atleast give it a test run![cool] But if you click on the link (see red text at the bottom) it doesnt look like you'll be seeing one anytime soon

So that means, TubeDude: START BUILDING!![]

[cool][#0000ff]The first commercially made "tube" I bought was a molded plastic "donut", back in the 70's. It had a lot less floatation this this one appears to have and I didn't have much "freeboard" when on the water. The center seam on it cracked and it sank with TubeN2 in it. Fortunately we were in shallow water.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]All I can say is that if someone wants all that, and a rigid hull too...GET A BOAT.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Thanks for posting it though. Veddy intermesting.[/#0000ff]

Yeah its pretty much a boat. But I'd still trade in my tube for it []. I like how it has a built in trolling motor.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Those things have been around forever. Don't hear about too many people buying them however.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Advantage, you could drag it to the water like a regular boat.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Divantage, cannot transport very easily, and what does it weight. I don't trust the factory roof mounts on cars and SUV's (ask Poky-mon about his Durango).[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Next, what do they want for these things? Keep in mind you Tubers, there is a thing called a Float Power[/size][/black][/font]




[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I know, I have one. Just put a deep cycle battery in the middle in a included battery box, then stick a Minn Kota in. Straps to any kind of float tube and deflates for transporting.[/size][/black][/font]
