Whoah, a 70 litre float is a big-un.
 
What do you chaps who dive the tropics use if you aren't using a reel? 50 litre?
 
I'd like an inflatable float for special occasions but I'm not certain how big it needs to be to assist with a small marlin or big tuna etc./

Get a 70L Kent. If you don't shoot a fish you could just jump aboard for a rest

They only have a photo of the 15lt one.

I imagine the 70lt one would look similar to this:

Seriously - I have a smaller version of Leatherjackets above in the garage - it only seats two.  Towing it round in a bit of wind would be interesting ... 

I could ship it to Wellington for you UJ Wink

If you punctured it, can't you repair the bladder?

70L is ridiculous. If I wanted that much lift (and I can't see that happening) I'd much rather 2x 35L.
