This was touched on in another thread
I am inrterested in buying one to use on small rivers and lakes - esp our
own lake
How safe are thety on rivers?

I have to be able to fit them (2) in the back of an SUV

I want to be higher up - sitting and casting than a float tube
I would like to be able to carry xtra gear

Any suggestions?
Any to stay way from?

I know that they sell this in Wal-mart's But I am no Wal-mart shopper
i would rather pay more money to get a good one line or at a sporting goods
store
What about the water strider?
