Sportsman's Warehouse carries Outcast, Fish Cats, with their own labeling on them. I believe they are cheaper than the "official" Outcast, Fish Cats. Also, some of the Ebay Fish Cats have a generic labeling(my buddy ended up with one), but they seem to be the same as the original.

Hey Blu,

The Trinity from Outcast is the best for backpaking, the float tube is very very light and packtable there is one thinkh I do not like abou this flout tube - it's take more time put the air out from the float tube, but this is just small think...but still this float tube is the best bet. The seet is high so your bud is not in the water :D :D .

Take care Blu

I know exactly where you're coming from Jon. I've had this same battle for a couple years now myself. It's hard to justify when I consider how often I'm actually able to get out on the water....especially floatable waters. But you are in much closer striking distance than I am.

Good Luck

Yes they do, my wife picked one up for me today it is the same tube (Fish Cat 4) with the Sportman's logo on it (she gave me a description via phone). One of the Sportman's locations up here is closing and she said she got the one that came with the carry bag, pump and repair kit (the 4-LCS package) for under $150.

So Blu if you are still looking for this tube check and see if there are any Sportman's Warehouse in your area that are going out of business.

Sorry for not posting this sooner but I went ahead and purchased the Trinity by Outcast. It is so freaking sweet. Tanks to everyone for their input.
