Hello all. Looking to get out in the water this year. Still deciding between float tube and pontoon. This forum was brought up a couple times in videos I watched while YouTube’n. So figured I’d join up, say hi and maybe pick some brains.
Cheers

Welcome to the forum Darth Tater.

I have both a pontoon and a float tube. The tube is easier to store and carry . The toon is easier to get around on once you are on the water. I say figure out how you are going to store them and what you have to transport them with.

Do a search on tube vs tube and you will find a lot of information.

Here are some links to my reviews on both.

Thanks all. Leaning towards a tube. Based on storage and transportation. But those pesky pontoons keep tempting me lol

I have a few (2) used Cumberland float tubes that I have patched the air bladders at least once and that they will come with their original net lap-trays if you’d interested.

I also have 1.5” ABS rod racks with swiveling 22 1/2” ° rod holder.

I’m in the Los Angeles Harbor area in San Pedro. Call me.
