I have never heard one good word said about the 7.3metre one and was relieved i got outbid on ebay for one,my large musclebound cousin regrets not getting the 5.5metre size as these things are very very hard work to use,i think the amount of water held in them whilst working doesn`t help as they just get too heavy and unwieldy. So because i have never heard one good word about them then i will refuse work where it would be neccesary to use one.
