Dang! That's not a very good sales pitch... ? what style tube was it and what was the issue? Was their warranty process at least better than the Yamaha Y.E.S...? lol!
The good news is most of their tubes/towables are new this season.

To be clear, I have a strong interest in selling quality products. My main occupation is being the owner of a custom cabinet company. We design, manufacture and install them. I tell people, "I don't know how to build a crappy cabinet. I build them so I never have to fix them, because I only have time to build them once. As a result, the number of call-backs I've had in 8 years that went beyond a miner adjustment... I can't even really think of one. Unless it was the result of their kids doing something abusive to it... and those are few.
Anyway, I ask to know the issue because it's important for me to know what I'm passing on.
Besides the manufacturer, I'll do my best to stand by whatever I sell.

As for this towable and others, I really like the concept. Typically I think sit-in tubes are kind of lame and I have trouble getting excited about it... but, kids want dad to go with them. Something like this adds to the dynamic as a rider. It looks a lot more fun in my opinion than bounding around on my butt. I also think it will be something to add to a the confidence of a younger rider.
I may not always have something to compete with Costco, but these being more unique I think could.
