[black][size 3]Hey kazualt, welcome to BFT.
There's something that you're going to have to get use to, it's a kick boat man, there are somethings that you just cant do to it. You'll find that getting up close and personal with the fish is the big motivation for using these small craft. You'll have to use your regular boat for all of the creature comforts.
You are not alone in wanting to add all of these items, but there are limitations. TubeDude, a site moderator, and most fanatical float fisherman, has lots of ideas and pictures of tricked out craft on this site, and I would encourage you to check them out under "Best of the Best". You will find many ideas there.
I'm waiting for someone to come on looking for instructions on how to mount a spinning, 750 mile range, grid array radar antenna on their float tube. ha ha
Enjoy it for what it is, and be sure to report your successes. Some of the postings on this site are so motivating, it make you want to grab your rods and rush out to the nearest water.
What area are you located in? Do you have access to our local Utah waters?
Good luck
PS: I just went to the Best of the Best of '06 and '07, under the comparison of tubes and toons, one of the members has posted, with pictures of what he did to his TU Colorado earlier this month. You might want to check this out, and if you have questions, you may wish to send him a PM (personal message). If you have questions on how to do this, anyone here will help you.
