Hey there DanielJRioux,
Congrats on the floatie! Now.... please (Am I being pushy) describe the creature to us so we have some input to work on for some suggestions. There are a lot of different types of swim fins out there too. so....
Nothing wrong with an older tube..... unless you start to build for it and when you upgrade..... some of your stuff is not suitable to switch to the new craft.
Have you checked it for leaks, seams pulling apart, cover/shell beginning to deteriorate, etc? That's the first thing I would do.
If it's been well used, it might even be reasonable to pull the bladder(s) to see if they've been patched and further check the area around the air filler.
Looking forward to hearing about float tube #1 for you.
