I wanted to put in a plug for the Gail Force Saddlefloats too! And a big thanks to @scokill for contacting Scott and putting the bug in his ear about a group buy here on jetboaters.net! Thanks to both of you for that. @scokill turned me onto the floats over 6 years ago, can't really remember when but we have been using them that long at least. When we sold our boats, the only thing we kept out of all our supplies, storage containers, equipment, toys, tools, etc., were our saddle floats. They are the best floats I have ever used and I have tried just about all the ones you guys have mentioned and even the upside down lifejackets. The floats are a great product and very well made. They are thicker than their counterparts, and with the addition of the float rope, you can pretty much float effortlessly all together. @Betik , I'm sorry I kept the saddle floats, here is your opportunity to add 4 for the family as cheap as you will ever see them! I am pasting the link on this too...

He would have given floaty pants, but not saddle floats.

LOL. I typically blame this on my english proficiency, but in this case it is just a matter of a double digit IQ

Well, some of my people who originally claimed interest bailed on me. BUT, I still managed to get TEN of these ordered! Along with one of the float ropes.

Thanks again @scokill and tell your friend thanks, too! I hope they are as good and fun as they look. I am looking forward to using these!

No worries. I'm sure you will like them as much as we do. I think we have 8 and keep them in the head compartment. To be honest we really need 10 in the boat as sometimes there is the odd person out and they have to go old school with the upside down lifejacket ala "floaty pants".

Ordered 2 and the rope and they arrived today. Nice... Thinking of heading out to the pool to try them, in fact.

Thanks for helping me spend more money. <sigh>

Let me know how you like it!

I was looking at it online the other day, my wife comes home from deployment in a few weeks and I was looking at it to spend a weekend.

I live right off I-35 between exits 177 and 178

We have been here a handful of times and love it. We get a steep discount as my brother works for Hyatt. Don't know if I would pay sticker price in the summer!
