Floaty Pants

That sounds good. Thanks.

I took my boat out last night and I was telling my friends about these things. They seemed very intrigued because they like to spend the majority of our trips floating in the lake. Hopefully we can make a deal!
 
I have had those Saddle Floats for years now. Great product. My brother bought some after seeing mine.
 
I have a bunch of life jackets that we wear as diapers. If friends are coming on the boat we loan them out. It's part of the package deal of letting friends ride on the boat. I wouldn't expect them to buy a life jacket just to come to the lake with us. And they've all been pissed in LOL...
 
I'd be in if a group buy happens as well. Thanks for checking

So I have some news. Scott will essentially do 1/2 off of retail. $25 plus shipping. He said shipping 2 saddle floats is about $15, so 2 saddle floats $65 delivered. We just need 20 total as a group. I can collect names, shipping addresses, and phone numbers and he will call directly for credit card with exact figure for shipping. You can check out colors out at: http://store.gailforcewatersports.com/ Just PM me if interested and I guess we can keep it open for a couple of weeks. @Julian if you want to add a post about this be my guest as this is a good deal. I don't know how this usually works. Tagging @VONCE
 
Do you think there's anyway we could get the JB.net logo put on them, as well? Or, is that asking too much, or inappropriate? Just thinking it would be cool if he could offer these as swag for us like the coozies, etc.

He is not in a position to do custom logos at all at this point.

First thing you will want to do is start a new thread (in the classifieds section) with all the details: photos, prices ordering process etc, otherwise this will get buried in this thread. Putting it in the classifieds section will get it a visible prefix to make it stand out. I'd put "Group Buy Discount" in the title....

@scokill thanks for the reply! I'm in for at least two. I am going to reach out to my friends who are coming on my lakehouse trip this summer. I expect some of them to want some as well. Hopefully we can get 20. Standby.
 
I sent a pm as well for a couple. I don't think you'll have any problem getting 20.
 
@scokill I will for sure buy 3. Set up the group buy thread and I don't see my issues getting at least 20. There's at least 9 of them just in this thread so let's do it!

The reviews for the 2" thick Gail force are great and seem to outlast the other cheaper floats.

I'm in for 4. PM sent. Thanks for setting this up!

I'll repost if a group buy thread is created.
 
OK. it is going to get easier. Scott will set up a code to order from his site directly. No minimum. He wants to make it easy on himself and us. Should have tomorrow. I'll start a new thread in classifieds.
 
Has anyone had a white colored float of this type? Do they get yucky looking from use over time if they stay wet when tossed in thew ski locker? I was wanting to order red, white and blue floats but if the white is hard to keep looking nice then I'll go with colored floats.
 
UPDATE. Will be posting the same in classified and/or group buy. Please see below for Gailforce Product discount for the group. Applies to all first run products...saddle floats, mattresses, float rope (which is a must for us to hang out and have something to hold on to or attach floats via caribiner), cooler float, etc. No customization, no logos, as-is from site. This is a successful family owned business here in Texas and a generous offer. Scott's kids at home from college will be managing this discount for the group.

http://store.gailforcewatersports.com/ Last checkout screen discount code Yamaha2017 . 50% off Applies to all products except already discounted. Standard shipping applies. These things are bulky.

I've had every color over 9 seasons and other than a prototype Scott gave me they all look brand new and have been store wet, stay in boat over winter, etc. YMMV. My fav colors are Yellow, Orange, and Pink because they are visible. We had a blue one float over to another boat and they claimed it was theirs. Blue seemed to be a popular color.
 
I don't see pink on there selection of colors and my daughter would love it. I think i'm just gonna go with a red, white and blue combo for good ole' Glory :)
