I fear I'm becoming a collector!
Last week I picked up a Bucks Bags Bronco 8'toon. Nice boat with anchor setup, stainless frame, nice oars, 4 gear nags, a set of flippers,cheap pump all in nice shape for $225. I was pleased as I had just sold some tires for $300 to finance a toon. Same day a Waterskeeter shows up on Craigslist in Anchorage (150 miles one way) for $75. Talked to the guy, says it's nice, 7.5', includes oars, mini anchor, & 2 gear bags. Happened to have a friend up there who picked it up for me. So in the last 8 months I've picked up these 2, plus 3 tubes, a new Original Uboat, a new WW Grig Pond boat, & an older cheap round boat that came with the Grig.
Only problem is I haven't had time to have any of them in the water yet with the exception of the BB toon. Embarassed Had it in a local pond for a wopping 10 minutes (all the time I had). Just HAD to do it!!! green happy
Now I need toget out on the water & fling a fly!

A quick updatge on the Waterskeeter. Just inflated it for the 1st time. Tubes measure a bit over 7'6", but are not as pointy as my BB tubes on the tips. Virtually the same water didplacement length wise, but maybe an inch less diamater. One of the Summit valves spits air out as fast as I can pump it im when I remove the pump. I assume it's sticking open. Too datk in the garage to see tonight & I have no experience with these valves. Otherwise complete & in nice shape.

Sounds like you are just like the rest of us tube-a-holics. Nothing wrong with this just so you know we are all hear to support your habit.
If you have any problems storing your gear you could alway ship a few to me I will make sure they have a good home and get some exercise from time to time Twisted Evil

Smile
I wouldn't feel so bad about it if I were using them. Gotta make time to get out!
I have a wife & 3(soon 2) kids at home, so it will be fun to be able to have the whole family play on the lakes (at least that's my excuse).

An update on the Waterskeeter. Played with the Summit valve in the light this AM & saw the problem. Rotated the inner core just a bit so it could close completely & now it's sealing fine. There are 2 others just like it on Craigslist currently for $300 each (seperate sellers) so I figure @ $75. I did OK there.

I think with that many boats you qualify as Admiral.

OK, this truly qualifies as a sickness!!!
Wanted to get another set of lite inexpensive flippers. Local Sportsman's Warehouse has them for $25. Was going to pick up a set when I am there for a fly tying seminar this Saturday...
BUT. Somehow I ended up on Craigslist doing a search for "tube", & up pops an excellent condition Browning Agressor with Caddis fins & a Scotty flyrod holder. $25. for all & they actually delivered it to my place!
Add another boat to the fleet Very Happy
I think my 7yr old son will really like the security of the round boat with crotch strap.

Ya that is a sickness, but the only cure is to get out there and try your best to get board of float tube fishing. Good luck with that one lol!
