For anyone looking for a new tube option, I came across this deal on the Overton's website (aka Gander Outdoors, aka Camping World...all the same company) and picked one up. With extra 60% off, it's $100 with Free Shipping ($80 with Free Shipping if you're a Good Sam member) through Sunday (6/20).

No affiliation, just passing on the info as I thought it was a sweet deal!

One heck of a deal for an inflatable but IMO this tube looks like injury waiting to happen. Lead person falls off to the side while cruising at 20mph and the person on the wing is in direct line for a head to head shot.

@adrianp89...looks like they sold out of them (at least for now), they've totally disappeared from the website. Ours arrived yesterday and it looks pretty awesome!

@Babin Farms...that's a good point (and probably true of lots of tube designs). Shouldn't be a concern for us as I don't think we'll actually be riding it four deep. We've got two kids so they'll either both be sitting on the fuselage or both be lying in the wings.

Wait, isn't that why we tube? Safety is pretty much the least of a concern when the tubes come out, and physical contact with others is encouraged. I was just hoping this thing would go airborne a bit!

As an update to this thread (in case anyone comes across it in the future): this Jet Fighter tube is a huge hit with the kids (including my 42-year old child-like brother-in-law 😁 )!!! We've had the chance to use it several times now and the kids really like it; it's their new go to choice over the 3-person seated tube we have (Big Mable style). It's pretty stable, but you can get a good bounce going if you cross wakes fast enough. Our kids are young so we haven't tried to really get crazy with it or anything.

If you see this Jet Fighter tube on sale again in the future, I highly recommend picking one up! Anything in the $150-$200 range and I think it's worth it. The $100 we paid for it was an absolute steal!

Ions like price and availability changed several times today. Here is what I just saw and passed, not because of the price, just realized I bought three tubes last season and barely used any of them. Need to wear one out before getting another.

Couldn't resist, ordered a "used" one for 149.00. They said it was new but the box was damaged. That makes 3 tubes in 3 months. Thanks guys.
