[cool]As moderator of the Float Tubing forum for BFT, I take it as my solemn responsibility to test as much gear as possible...not only for my own selfish purposes, but as research on behalf of others.
I took off work early yesterday, to do some product testing...strictly from a humanitarian standpoint, mind you. I wanted to check out the new Eagle Cuda 168 sonars, as a potential low cost unit for float tubes. I also had a new pair of Force Fins, acquired in a bulk purchase of some equipment from someone in California who inherited it and wasn't going to be using it.
The third piece of gear to be tested was Tube Babe's new Fat Cat...also a part of the package buy thing. Her test worked better than mine with the Force Fins. The Cuda worked fine.
Here are the links to the posts on the Float Tube forum for anyone thinking of getting a new tube, fins or sonar for their tube or 'toon.
