Low cost three-person towable - Milwaukee area

[WiskyDan]

I was going to buy one of these online from Costco due to the good price and return policy. Not too bad for $199, pump/tow line included, and pretty good reviews. Walked into the Costco in Menomonee Falls on Saturday and to my surprise they had a pallet of these by the entrance for $189 so I snapped one up.

Used it once and one of the inflation valves ripped allowing water to enter one of the chambers. The problem, which is a common one on inflatables, is that as it fills with air the valves are pulled away from the access panels putting a lot of stress on the valves. It was a lot of fun, but I returned it for a refund. I still have an Obrien tube that I bought in 2000 that still rocks. I read the reviews (which were not that bad) and decided to replace it with a different brand. Hopefully you guys will have better luck than me and maybe my experience was just an anomaly.

That was one of last months "specials", IIRC. What lake were you on?
