I didn't feel like spending 80 bucks, so i went out and bought a 10 dollar air matress at wal-mart. is there some disadvantage to this, or something, cuz u'd think more people would do this if it was the same thing

The only thing I would be concerned about is the durability of the matress. Also how heavy was it when filled?

you get what you pay for. fat sacs are made to hold the pressure of water and some are even double layered. so make sure you have a powerful bilge just in case. id feel safer with water bed tubes.

I've heard of people doing that and the passengers can lay on the mattress and stuff. Just be careful it doesn't bust.

I have that boat too. Where exactly did you put it? Haha there isnt much room. We did make these steel rods and screwed them into the flat areas on each side of the engine in the engine compartement and just drop 10 pound barbell weights on them. We have about 160 pounds of weights. Also how big is the mattress?

I got the littlest mattress i could find... and we put it right up against the row of three seats. i might get another and put it up front
