[#0000ff][size 1][#330033]Hope you find this Thread, Please PM me in the future. I wasn't able to reply to your E-mail Some sort of server rejection error. Good luck with those tubes![/#330033][/size][/#0000ff] [#0000ff][size 1][#330033][/#330033][/size][/#0000ff] [#0000ff][size 1][#330033][/#330033][/size][/#0000ff] [#0000ff][size 1][#330033]Hello,
I was cruising bigfishtackle.com and I ran across an old post from hustler898 regarding the purchase of an [/#330033][/size][black][black][size 1]Outfitters Expedition float tube. I just bought two of them today myself, and I was wondering if you had success with yours. I got mine for a steal from Oshman's Sporting Goods - $28 each!!! I couldnt pass that up, but I was wondering how they hold up.

Is all I can say! $28 is a steal!!!! Where is this store, is it in Utah? I love this tube I have used it extensively and it is holding up great. No trouble with the hull and I like the design. Only problem I have is that the seat does seem kind of hard after many hours sitting in it
. You also have to keep the valves clean as they tend to leak if some debris get under the valve seal. What I do now is just sinch the top valve cover down tight. [/size][/#0000ff][/font] [font "Arial"][#0000ff][size 2][/size][/#0000ff][/font] [font "Arial"][#0000ff][size 2]As you know its got lots of foam so that makes it cumbersome to carry long distances but also adds alot to safety and stability. Don't even bother with the back rest, I use that as a dry storage area. Good luck with the tubes I know you will like them and don't forget to post a review on the board. As far as adding your own accessories. You have plenty of room to play with and can be done easily with alittle thought. I currently have a fishfinder hookup and 3 rod holder rack as well as my single "working" holder.[/size][/#0000ff][/font]
