today i'm going to give you an unbiased review of the outcast fish cat 4 deluxe lcs sitting right
over my shoulder the number one selling float tube in the united states let's get this thing pumped
up and if you don't have one yet the tech sport double action hand pump this thing is awesome
double efficiency which means it's going to blow air in when you pull up and when you push
down this comes with a variety of different valves and this one right here is perfect for the boston
valve on the fish cat 4. all right that's how many pumps it takes to get this one bladder filled up
40 40 and sliders already filled up so with 80 pumps on the tech sport you can feel this bad
boy all right on the fish cat 4 let's talk about the fabric here this is 420 nylon this red stuff
right here excellent for resistance to abrasion rot mildew highly water repellent and it dries
super quick that 429 line that stuff's used on luggage and bags and purses and horse blankets
all kinds of stuff it's really high quality all right this black fabric right here which is on
the front of the float tube and the underneath that's 1000 pvc it's a polyurethane coating
creates a waterproof barrier and has excellent anti-abrasion properties good stuff all right
i probably should have showed you this before i blew it up but the air cells what they call that
the air cell material already unzip this you can see it right here this is vinyl which is
not bad i think it's right for the price point i believe they make urethane bladders as well
which are better but this is great for the price point and as you know it's a two chamber system so
air cell here air cell over here and as you can see it's nice there's a little uh safety here so
if you zip this up you're not gonna accidentally get your bladder caught and torn good design there
all right let's talk about these guys okay these are actually nice valves they're called boston
valves and it's not a brand it's actually a type of valve it's used on inflatable boats
water toys uh air mattresses so if i were to open up the top valve which is what i did whenever i
filled this thing with air i could pull it out and no air actually when they escape now if i wanted
to deflate it i would open up the second valve which is underneath it and all there it will come
out pretty quickly this thing only weighs about 15 pounds which is great if you're trying to get
out to those hard to reach places where you can't get a boat or your kayak too and the load capacity
for this thing is 250 pounds and this particular model comes with a five-year limited warranty
which i'll get to in just a moment when it comes to storage there's really only three places here
these are actually some really nice big pockets there's one on each side as you can see
there's some d-rings down here and you can do some flip tube modifications this guy i'm not quite
sure what you'd use that for i'm sure i'll figure it out later this right here is where you actually
put your stripping apron i don't have a stripping apron and if i did i probably wouldn't use it and
same thing on the other side also some storage that comes into play here is behind the seat
you kind of throw a cooler back here if you needed to and if you've been wanting to mod
out your float tube i just created an awesome mod where it has two fishing rod holders a gopro boom
a place for your fish grips and your pliers and a cell phone holder this is it if you want to
learn how to make this i'll throw that video up at the end now you might be asking the question
what's the difference between a fish cat four and a fish cap for deluxe and the answer is
these guys you're like what are these guys you see with the fish cat for your seat pads and your back
pad is actually a piece of foam with the fish cap for deluxe you get air cells and the reason guys
and girls like the air cells is because you can deflate them inflate them and it's not going to
stay bulky so a lot of people when they transport this don't want to have that giant piece of foam
that doesn't fold down very well and these things they're pretty easy to inflate i'll show you
five that only took five breaths put the cap on good to go all right i'm not gonna waste your
time by me showing you how to wrestle these in there so i'm gonna go ahead and put them in i'll
see in a second all right after you wrestle them in there they look like this make sure you do put
them in there make sure your valves are sticking out here because um you have to blow them up a
little bit more after you wrestle them down in there another reason people love the fish got
four deluxe is because you're actually sitting out of the water because the air cells help keep your
body out so the only thing in the water are your flippers i believe with the foam you're going to
be sitting in the water sometimes which for a lot of people is no good now they say the fish cat for
deluxe is perfect for the angler who is out on the water less than 25 days per year now you all know
the beauty of a float tube you can get to places where boats and kayaks can't go or the fish are
big and where they're aggressive another win and you'll have to check your state but i know right
now the time of the shooting in the great state of ohio you don't have to register a float tube
it's literally a plug-and-play scenario all right let me run you through the five-year warranty the
it's a limited warranty it basically covers retail purchases against manufacturing defects this is
going to cover your tubes your d-ring patches your air cells your valves your zippers make sure
they're functional and water worthy and what it doesn't cover is excessive uv damage don't store
these things out in the sun abnormal use don't let your kids use them as a trampoline a normal
boat use neglect inappropriate storage or if the boat is structurally altered or used commercially
and the warranty begins on the original purchase date okay i'm a testament to using this warranty
i had one of the valves kind of do something funky on me so i wrote them and within a couple days
they had another one out to me they have some excellent customer service if that is something
that's important to you if you just don't want to take my word for the reviews on this thing are
awesome at the end of the day i like it i give it five stars so do a lot of other people and if you
go to the website there's a ton of accessories for this boat right here in fact i got a couple this
is one of the accessories this is actually their anchor system comes a nice little bag doesn't
matter if it gets wet and you just simply attach it on the d-ring right here good to go you also
find if you go to the outcast website you'll see they have a ton of other different types of fish
cats as well some are less expensive some are more expensive they have the summit the fish
cat rise fish cat 4 fish cat 4 deluxe fish cat 5 max fish cat cruiser the fat cat the super fat cat
