[cool][#0000ff]There don't seem to be any published dimensions for the ODC 420. But, on a group trip this last week we had FC4, ODC and Super Fat Cat side by side. The ODC is somewhere between the 2 Outcast tubes. I'd say it is closer to the Super Fat Cat...bigger than the FC4.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]It is not always possible to make your own permutations based upon published stats. Some manufacturers tend to rate low for weight capacity, to avoid potential litigation or whatever. Almost all tubes will float more than the weight ratings. It boils down to available space for the angler and basic comfort and convenience on the water.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]That's why it is good to be able to try before you buy...or at least to get some input from other owners on a forum like this one.[/#0000ff]
