Fat Pony Bottle

[MikadoWu]

Hey All,

I am looking to pick up a new pony bottle. I really am not a fan of the Long 19cu Catalina bottle.

Does anyone make a fatter bottle?

Thanks,

luxfer al30/40 are both fatter. al40 is a good size because you can use it for a deco bottle later on and consequently better resale

 

[runsongas]

if you want fatter but not longer, luxfer used to make an al27, but you have to search around for those

Yes, but they're also longer.

Catalina makes a AL S53 which is 1.5" longer than a 19 and definatally fatter. I'm not sure I have ever seen one in the wild though.

S53 7.25x19.2

Curious. Why not the "long" 19. Most guys like it longer (down boys ) Seriously, most of the male dives on SB seem to think the longer ponies trim out a little better. This of course assumes you plan to sling it.

I did my first cavern "Paradise Springs" with a sling, flowed by "Hudson Grotto", and a few others. I just felt uncomfortable the whole time. Not sure if I am going to Mount it on the Back of my Ranger, or what yet. I thought I would at least look into my options.

Honestly, most of the time once I get it in the water the tank disappears. 13,19, 30 I hardly know they are there. I wonder if it was the way it was rigged, Or the attachment points with the BCD.

I've got a steel LP Faber 27 which is short and squat - only 14.43" long (same as a Catalina 13cf) and 5.46" in diameter - 11.7 pounds - buoyancy full negative 2.95 / empty negative 1.07. Hydro 12/2013 (plus hydro so 10% overfill) and current vis. I would be willing to part with it. PM me if interested.
