Ive often wondered why makers of kyaks dont make pontube shaped water craft for fishers... they would be ideal (at least I think) for stillwater fishing and would probably handle very well and be just as stable on rivers as top of the line inflatable craft are... I mean these guys make all kinds of variations of kyaks they design and build specifically for fishing... ??
has never made sense to me..
the big advantage would be not having to inflate the craft.. that would stop the possibility of over inflating and having a tube blowout..
durability... I would think it take a lot more to puncture one of these than an inflatable craft...
ease of transport.. maybe.. Ive seen one guy who has/uses the 60" hobie float cat and when he is done.. he picks it up and tosses it into the camper on his pickup.. and as for set up.. just as easy.. grabs his gear.. and the craft.. walks to the edge of the water.. and away he goes.. he was on the water 20 - 30 minutes before anyone else... ??
anyway.. just a thought.. :-)
