It is and isn't that good a deal. For $20 more at its regular price you could have IMO a better tube. The Cumberland is much like a TUC tube I once owned a short time before selling, it was nice but not as good and even durable as the OutCast.

That Cumberland does allow more weight though... maybe it is beefier?

[FloatnFly]

difference of 100lbs in the carrying capacity though

Yeah.... saw that after. Most tubes are usually 250. It must be a bigger rig with thinner materials though, because the weights of the two are the same.

i think they're all around that weight to make it easier for carrying in a back pack. theres this one by outcast as well, 300lb capacity, weighs 7lbs, and twice the price. http://www.basspro.com/Outcast-Trinity-Float-Tube/product/1303271113/?cmCat=CROSSSELL_PRODUCT

Same one I bought a few years back. Nice lazy boy seat on it and holds well. I paid $199 at LEBarons.

Mattaw owns it now.

This is the Outcast Trinity float tube in my opinion the best packable float tube for accessing remote lakes...the seat and backrest are inflatable not foam like some and you sit higher in the water better for fishing although you pay the price for these features....

I highly recommend this one. It huge. And you can flip it around with ease. I only got rid of it as I got cold feet in the early ice out waters.

Hmm, I was considering the Cumberland. Used to be able to get it at Amazon for under $200, but they don't seem to sell it anymore. Lebaron shows it for $250 in their catalog, plus shipping on top of that probably.

 

I was also considering saving a little more and going for an inflatable pontoon boat, since I'd be up out of the water, which would be good in the spring and fall up here, but I don't know much about them and if they can pack down small enough to carry in or not.

Anyone looking for something like this, Sail has an inflatable boat on special, 8ft long, holds up to 600lb, will hold a 2.5hp motor or any size electric motor, picked one up for $129 plus paddles

Oh, OK. Those aren't what I'm looking for at all.

I saw a few used pontoons on kijiji for $300-700 range in real good shape. I think they start around $1000 n up for new ones
