Jeff,
It is a deluxe size. It should be interesting. I still need things, like a hand pump and emergency paddle, but it should be a comfy ride.
I fish the back waters and coves of a very large lake in SC, so it should come in handy.

Mike,
The Chehalis has a 350# capacity, one reason I wanted it. I also wanted bigger, not compact. I can throw it in the carpeted truck bed and be at my fishing spots within minutes. I don't need ultralight or tiny, so I opted for deluxe.
I am also refurbishing a personal, framed pontoon boat. It will need new bladders and skins and Cover Bonanza sells 8 ft. Models that will fit. In talking with them, I learned this one was on clearance, new. I pulled the trigger. This will get the lard @ss I also carry on the water, and I can get the pontoon going at my leisure.
I'd stick with your FC's since you are used to them. I got this one because the price was easily in my range.

Sorry to be the cause of such pain. lol  Thank you for taking the time to answer a couple of the important questions.

 I am considering a new tube this season, but I'll hold out till I know what I am getting. Probably a solidly proven Outcast Fat Cat. I love the Fish Cat #4 but eat too well I guess.

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.

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