Hello all you fellow Float Tubers!

Here is a picture of my old WoodRiver StealthRider that I had for about 14 years. I have caught tons of fish and cover many of miles in it. Too bad WoodRiver went out of business, I would have love to see an "Update" of my StealtRider. But its time to retire it so I order me a new toy a - Fish Cat 4.. can't wait to try it out

Nice vintage tube, it doesn't look used at all in the picts not faded or discolored like alot of old tubes get.

Enjoy that new Fishcat and keep old faithful as a backup or send it to the Smithsonian for display =)

Txs all for the kind words Very Happy

For a long time it was pack up nice and neat in a duffel bag and keep in a cool area. I Just didn't use it that much until I moved to Lake Havasu. I always clean my gear after each use with loving care. Because I believe in, Take care of it, It will take care of you - slogan, that why it looks good after all these years Red Smile

I have had mine for 4 years and it doesn't look half that good. the salt and the sun just eat them up. even with rinsing with freshwater and storing in a cool dry place. my buddy and i got two caddis tubes 4 years ago and his looks brand new he only goes in freswater.
