Hi Sturgeonkid,
I don't own a float tube but have experienced this problem. I have had the unpleasant experience while scuba diving. I've found that if I do a few things while suiting up it reduces the problem significantly. I make sure my suit is up as far as it can go without giving yourself a wedgy[blush].. Make sure your suit doesn't bunch up behind your knees. The next thing I've tried that works is a little bit of vaseline behind the knees. Too much can be messy, but just a little provides some relief from the suit rubbing you raw. I know this isn't the best solution but it's better than spending $ for a new suit. Hope this helps a little.
