[attachment=70][attachment=71]Welcome to the dark side. What tube did you get? The size, shape and weight capacity will have a bearing on what designs you can use and how much additional weight you can add.
I started the float tubing board over 15 years ago. I originally built it up with lot s of pictures and links, to make it a good archive and resource for newbie tubers as well as others who just wanted good ideas. But all of that original stuff was lost several months ago during a previous "improvement".
I am one of the original float tubers...beginning back in the late 1950s (yeah, I'm that old). And I have pioneered a lot of the add-ons and innovations in float tubing. Been that, done there...or however it goes.
If you will send me a PM with your email address I can send you some PDF files with a lot of pictorial how-tos. And if this is your first float tubing rodeo you would be welcome to bring your new water toy to my tubeatorium (garage). I can look it over and suggest some of the options available...and might even help you put something together.
Here are a few pictures of some of the dozens of float tube models I have kicked around in for the past PLENTY years.![[Image: FISH-MASTER-TUBEDUDE-ON-WILLARD.jpg]](https://i.ibb.co/qntzRxF/FISH-MASTER-TUBEDUDE-ON-WILLARD.jpg)
