Hey everybody,
I'm trying to get my little brother into float tubing, and he's interested, he just has budget constraints (after all he's only 18 years old and still in high school). So, I'm trying to figure out which tube to suggest he buy. I've been looking though cabelas and I think I've found a couple that will fit his budget, but still be decent tubes. They both come with free fins which will save him another $30.00 or so. Here they are:
$89.99 (includes free fins and pump)

$49.99 (includes FREE fins)

So, what does everyone think? Are either of these worth the money? Is the quality good enough to last a couple of years or will they fall apart? Will it work for a first tube? Which one? He's 5'9" tall and about 145 lbs. Thanks for the help. --Kevin--
