I've used float tubes myself, all of them homemade. A simple truck tire, followed by a "spider-web" type of weave on the inside, and you're in business for less than $20.

That said, this thing is like a 2010 Cadillac, while mine was the Model-T.

Mine was somewhat comfortable, but this would be VERY nice to sit in for a long time. The pockets and pouches are a welcome addition, and the easy-in, easy-out is likewise very nice.

If you're cheap like me, and only use this in summer, you won't need waders. But if you want to use it in cooler or cold waters, a good pair of neoprene waders or a wetsuit are vital.

You will need swim fins, as you cannot mount a motor on this.

If you choose waders, go with "stocking foot" and buy a pair of dive booties from your local scuba shop. That way, you can use generic diving fins. If you get boot-foot waders, you'll have to get special fins, or those ridiculous "duck fin" contraptions.

This fishing method is VERY quiet. You'll appreciate it.

I live in NE in the snow belt. I use mine as an entertainment chair, sex chair, and snow tube during colder months.

(TIP) Cover zippers with sheet or towel during sex...they leave terrible marks on her face.

If it pushes you over the edge, I've got a stripped-down version of this going for $52 + shipping, the Teton. I'll put it up.

@bensonm your right, Ill tear off the trolling motor off a boat in my back yard, get a 12v battery and were good. I think its better the 100hp yamaha outboard stay on the un sea worth boat.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
