[cool][#0000ff]Almost any GOOD craft is rated for weights up to 250 pounds, and one rated at 250 will usually handle heavier than that without sinking. Unless you have a HEAVY tackle box, or eat a BIG breakfast, you should be able to float well with almost any craft on the market.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I am going to suggest that you PM RipNLips (who lives in Cache Valley). He just sent me the two attached pics of a couple of craft he bought new and has never used. They look to be of decent quality, and you might be able to work out some kind of deal with him. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]My wife (TubeBabe) has been tubing with me for over 25 years. She loves it and is often the main instigator for getting up a trip. She often whups me on the water too, as in the attached pic.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]One of the recommendations I always make is to buy your fins last. First get your waders and boots and then find a pair of fins that will fit over the whole shebang and provide good propulsion without cramping your feet. PM me when you get a chance and I will send you some writeups on how to put your system together.[/#0000ff]
