I used the FC4 Deluxe for the first time today. I went from the Caddis Navigator 2. Holy cow what an upgrade! It is comfortable, controllable and convenient. It inflated like in 5 minutes with a hand pump. It is a bit narrow though but you get used to it pretty quick and its hardly an inconvenience. The seat you need to find YOUR sweet spot. I had it too far back and that made it uncontrollable. I found myself kicking in circles. Once I realized I needed to adjust my backrest the tube was very controllable. Also I am pushing the weight rating of 250lbs on the FC4 deluxe I never felt I was taxing it. Only my shins were in the water. Quads, hams and glutes never felt water. Easy entry and exit. Striping apron was easy also. Pockets had plentyof space for all my stuff . I dont have anything really bad to say about it.
