Lost Creek 4 Float Tube - Gray/Orange

This is likely the best deal you are going to find (assuming they are rebranded fishcats). My Fishcat 4 has served me really well and I can't imagine that anything else would be a better value for the money.These look like ridiculously good value. Reviews say it's just a re-branded FishCat 4. I'll watch this thread for a few days, but I think I will get one of these.
Just one?Come on! You know you want one...
I recognize that vessel.. were you at that spot in oct.?Super Fat Cat, 28" inseam is ok but when windy I wish I was 6'. Awesome tube.
Sounds like a Nantucket sleigh ride to me...I caught a big tarpon from a 13' whaler on the gulf side of Costa Rica back in the early '90's...it easily turned the boat around like a bobber..."...comfortable platforms from which to cast as we target fish like tarpon and other saltwater gamefish..."
Wow - Tarpon from a float tube sounds like a wild ride!
I have the same boat...like it a lot...I bought a Fish Cat Scout last year which is kind of a pontoon/tube hybrid. I actually bought the Sportsman’s warehouse version of this boat…which is the same exact boat, built by Outcast, with a different color skin…and half the price, especially when in sale. I love it. Lots of space. Fits inflated in the back of my short bed Tundra. Although I have not, I would be comfortable using it on “tame”rivers floats as well. Some pics. I am 6 feet and about 225.

I've been using the same old Outcast tube since the late 90's. It's so old it doesn't say Fishcat, Fatcat or anything but "Outcast Sporting Goods" on the side. It has a very slow leak in one bladder but is good for all day+. I can't find the leak and Outcast doesn't make replaceable bladders for it anymore. I'm tempted to buy a Lost Creek but don't know if I'll like the raised stripping apron. I like the apron that is just above my lap.Just one?
I could call you "Cody - Mr. Modifier" as I know you'd firgure out a cool way to improve the stripping apron. Nice shirt, nice photo. ;-)I've been using the same old Outcast tube since the late 90's.

That's actually before I added the pontoon stiffener to prevent the apron from collapsing on my lap. It works great, but makes getting in and out of the tube with fins on somewhat of an art. I had a good photographer with me that day.I could call you "Cody - Mr. Modifier" as I know you'd firgure out a cool way to improve the stripping apron. Nice shirt, nice photo. ;-)
I just fixed a slow leak in my Clearwater. It took two arduous try’s with the bladders out. 1 very slow forming clear bubble. Not a stream of bubbles nor did it form quickly. If you’re interested try soapy water (again I’m sure you did already and let it sit for a while and try multiple times. If there’s a leak there’s a hole but sometimes they are very slow to show. Tear-aid type A and I’m happy.I've been using the same old Outcast tube since the late 90's. It's so old it doesn't say Fishcat, Fatcat or anything but "Outcast Sporting Goods" on the side.

Does your new tube have the backpack strap D rings on the bottom?I just fixed a slow leak in my Clearwater. It took two arduous try’s with the bladders out. 1 very slow forming clear bubble.

PS just got the Lost Creek. Not sure of the business model but can confirm it’s made by Outcast and has paperwork stating 5 year warranty.
Yes it doesDoes your new tube have the backpack strap D rings on the bottom?
