[quote TubeDude][cool][#0000ff]Yes, it is easier to see now that the oar attachment is on the outside of the air chamber. I also got a better look by going to the ZephyrBoat website at [url "http://www.zephyrboat.jp/boat/index.html"]http://www.zephyrboat.jp/boat/index.html[/url][/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Like some of the other hybrid pontubes on the market, these craft were apparently designed to provide rowing capability. To add a similar system to a float tube not originally designed for it would require some engineering.[/#0000ff][/quote]
Hi TD, thanks for finding the official website. I had been trying to google for it with no success! lol...
I had always thought that adding oars are as easy as adding a strap-on around the tubes on the side and then tie it to the oars. lol... I am a real noob at this...
If I can do an easy attachment, I will just go with the cheaper option: fish cat and then add the oars. else, i will need to consider that zephyr baby... which will cost about 45,000JPY (approx USD450) excl. shipping.
Tough decision...
