WANTED Shakespeare Float tube

[Bobfly]

WANTED ... a friend is looking to buy a Shakey Expedition float-tube in good order. Would pay an agreed price or a swap with his Snowbee one as part of the arrangement. Please let me know if you have one you would sell and I can put you in touch. Cheers.

Might have a job finding one, they went out of production a long time ago as I remember it.

I have the one I bought from yourself and it was commented on yesterday when I was asked to help find one.
Very similar to Steve Parton's Cruiser which I also have and that is a much heavier duty model. Steve was asked by Shakey to spec the makeup for a light version for them and none made for some years now.

It was a great tube for sure. Steve told me the Chinese screwed up the seat by putting it in the wrong place. The user tended to slip off the seat!. Steve was a real innovator and is a massive loss to fly fishing.

They put the seat slope back to front. I undid the stitching and refitted mine to slope down to the back.
