Well, new to me, and just in time for Halloween!

No bladder, two chambers, inflated with an inflator bag, 3 lbs! I put my Outcast inflatable backrest in the seat and that should boost me out of the water a bit more like I'm used to. Not as comfy or dry I suppose as a Supercat, but THREE POUNDS! :)

Don't know when I'll be able to do a maiden voyage, but it'll be interesting to be back in a donut tube...

Say hey Shig,
Good to see you with the ol' Del Canty Lunker Hunter. I used one for m-a-n-y years in the high sierra. Tough little design. I still have it (after decades). They will probably float forever if you take good care of it.

Did you find it at a garage sale or club swap????????
Cheers, Ken

And it's Pumpkin colored too, Whoohoo!

Sooooooo, we have a little head to head?

If you really want to know what it takes to hump a float into a high mtn lake I've got the spot.

A heads up though, weight is not nearly the most important consideration, but it is important.

We'll have to wait for late June for that lake though.

Happy Halloween Shig, nice tube, but I aint scared.
