Obligatory Outcast float tube Q

[Bugmeister]

I’m shopping new Outcast float tubes - and fumbling around on a Q. Experts pls clarify:

The OSG Super Fat Cat - LCS Float tube has a stated weight of 13lb. It is significantly pricier, and ostensibly heavier duty and larger (?) than the Fish Cat 4 Deluxe - LCS
float tube, but the Fish Cat 4 Deluxe specs show 15lb weight.

AI gave me a non answer. How is the Super Fat Cat providing beefier bigger tube but shaving the weight ?

I may be wrong but I believe they use different tube materials, vinyl vs urethane. At least they used to on older models. The material covering the tubes might also be different.

If your big and tall then super fat cat is the answer. I've owned both and the super fat cat gives me a little more room although still not quite enough...

If u have time tomorrow give them a call.
They are super helpful on answering any question you may have.

They don’t seem to answer email questions though. I tried three emails. Zero responses.

Great company. Great products. Great phone support.

Good luck with your search.
