WTB - First tube... wanting an ODC....

...Of course, a nice one just flew off the classifieds. But you never know - its worth asking. LOL
Im looking for a first tube. Im big 73", 230lbs and have lots of kayak experience. But No tubes. Im in SC so shipping is probably a distinct possibility.

Any thoughts are welcome.

I bought mine new off a guy on eBay for $150 shipped.  Just look up ODC 420.  There are only a couple of sellers selling it.

Okay, Bowbah. Thanks.
I hasn't yet checked Ebay

I just sold mine on here.  I am from NW Florida (Panama City Beach).  I cannot imagine using one back home.  You would not last more than a couple of hours before a big 12" gator gets ahold of you.

I have been to Murray, it is a big lake and never saw a gator but it is still southern SC and I am sure they are there.  LOL

Youre concern is welcome, Capt. Ray.
Ive fished Murray for years, and I've yet to see a gator. I've never even heard of one. It is reomtely possible that one could come up from Marion/Moultrie, make it beyond the dam and get in the lake. But, Murray is privately owned and developed - the people who live there wouldnt tolerate gators spoiling their expensive "lake living" experience.

In Florida, they are part of the landscape. I lived there, too, and I saw them all the time. But after kayaking Murray for several years now, the only scary thing I've seen are some rather large gar fish. I rarely even see snakes.

Now that Ive said this, I'll probably be overrun with snakes and run smack into the only alligator to ever appear in Lake Murray.
And I have you to thank for it. LOL

(thanks for the reply  )
