I was seriously considering the water skeeter also. I heard from one person that it was a little easy to tip forward of back in it, but it sounds like that might not be true? One thing I would like to do is to strap the tube to my back and carry it down to the water, it doesn't look as possible with this one, or is it? It seems a little big in general, do you guys have any difficulty manuevering in tight places?

Thanks! :-)
