Got a new toy for the boat

#1 Post by JohnO » Tue Jun 08, 2010 11:59 am

The local Sams club had Sofina Carribean Island rafts for $139.

The raft is 10 by 13 feet with room for six plus. Even has a small slide

I've been looking for a lounging raft for a while. I figure at less than 150 I can't go wrong.


Taking it out this weekend. I'll leave a review on it.

I had considered one of those, but then I was worried about how to get it from one place on the lake to the other, without having to blow the damn thing up every time we stopped. In the long run, I found it easier, and cheaper to buy 6 personal inflatables for the ladies, and the guys can use a life jacket.

They look really cool though, and if I had room for one, I would want one.

And x3, don't forget the pictures. :alright

I'll have the camera out this weekend also. Unfortunately it's a guy's day out for the young men from my church so no eye candy pictures.

Storage was always a concern but I think I can wedge it in behind the aft fishing seat. We'll leave it on the dock when fishing.

I'll get some pictures taken

Bought an airhead 12V high pressure pump to inflate and deflate it. Boatersworld had them for $36. It should get in Tomorrow. I'll do a test inflate to see how long it will take. I'm expecting about 10 minutes based on the reviews of the pump.

Did I menetion that I'll get some pictures taken?

I'll see who's out on the lake. Maybe I can sneak some good girl picks in. (I don't carry that 150-500MM zoom lens with 2x tele-converter for nothing)

The third will succumb to my charm at some point I'm sure. :rofl :rofl

I currently only have 1 sister in law, and I've seen her topless ( :puke ) NOT Pretty. She went with us guys to Rockfest this past year. Glad my wife takes better care of herself. :devillol

Well when I told her there's a stripper coming out on our boat Memorial Day and staying all 3 days at Canal Days she was Ok with it, I guess she's a keeper. :rofl :rofl :rofl

She's cool with all that stuff, no insecurity at all. :thumbsup

I don't have any. There was no way I was taking my camera or phone out in all of that mud. Besides, this year wasn't the best for :boobies2 .

It was too cold and rainy out.
