[cool][#0000FF]As already mentioned, I am of "generous" size myself...and I have pretty well standardized on the Outcast Super Fat Cats for about 10 years. They are rated up to 350 pounds and will float someone of your size very efficiently. I have added additional floatation (boat cushions under the front) mainly because I have also added an electric motor and heavy series 27 battery.
You mention "U-boat". I suspect you are lumping all open-end craft under that heading. And, as has been suggested, there are different designs...which include the "V-boats", such as the Fat Cats. Most of us would suggest the latter because of the improved navigation and tracking.
I am attaching a 1-page writeup on some of the main considerations between tubes and pontoons. Your ultimate choice should reflect the waters you will be fishing, your preferred style of fishing and whether or not you need bigger and heavier...etc.
