That Chehalis is a killer tube bro similar to the Pondarey, but I think it is a step up from that one.  That is a big boy but you should be able to stay out on the water for extended time I am sure it is comfortable beyond belief.

Wow lots of questions! Making my head hurt!

- weight of the material top and bottom?
Check the link below for specs.

- I am currently in an Outcast Fat Cat. Is this cover equal or heavier than the Outcast?
Probably not.

- What type and how many valves.
Don't know about anything but Boston valves, and these are different.

- Are there locations where one can look at these prior to ordering?
Don't know. I went with the sellers good reputation.

- Do you have a product view demo on you tube?
Don't know. Didn't look.

Okay Tube Heads - the posts are at a standstill.

Here's my latest addition:

Classic Accessories, 'Chehalis'

Chehalis

My first new inflatable, besides the pool floats out in the yard. This should be interesting. Awaiting its arrival as we speak.

Thanks Jeff. As things happen, I ended up spending the money elsewhere. No money, no tube.
But, that's the way it goes sometimes. Maybe next year.

Hey dave that was some time ago i love that tube but now i have the ODC as well. Good choice you will not be disappointed.

Leo - proof positive that mans sense of adventure (and lack of judgment) know no limits.

Well, for those who believe we only catch small fishes while in the float tubes, well, think again:

Thanks, Jeff.
But, I believe I may have to recant my earlier comments!
The more searching I do, the more I'm liking the ODC.
I've found a couple of side by side comparisons, and the ODC wins on most things that matter.
The lifetime warranty is also something.
The Fish Cat has a devoted following and I know why. But the ODC has much to offer.... Im keeping quiet for now, so I dont say something else stupid! :-P

David-  The FishCats are really nice 'tubes, but the only 2 complaints I have is that the foam insert seat gets very hard after an hour or so of sitting on it.  I have ordered an inflatable seat cushion, which I have been told is the only way to go.  The other thing is that I wish there was another couple of storage compartments for all my stuff.  The nice thing about these fts is that you can really move thru the water quickly.  I got to my spot in 15 minutes in my FC, but in my old Caddis "U Boat", it took me almost 30 minutes too get there!
