[cool][#0000ff]Welcome to the "Dark Side". If you think you are a biggun, you are still a junior size compared to some of us. I am also 6'3" and 2 hundred and "plenty"...well over 250.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Most tubes these days are rated at least 250 and will hold more weight than that. However, for maximum floatation and comfort you should look for something rated at over 300. My Super Fat Cat is rated at about 350 and I do not challenge that, even fully tricked out and loaded up.[/#0000ff]
