What tube do you guys pull? I have a 195 with the 300hp and we used a couch tube for 3 last year and with people in the boat it doesn't do the best. Thought about going to a two person...?

Most of the time if the boat is not doing it's best the tube is not aired up enough. I usually have to air it up, tube for a short while, pull it back in to air it back up and then it's usually good. The water is colder than the air so once you put it in the water it will lose pressure same as your car tires losing air pressure in the cold weather.

We pull an Airhead G-Force 3. They also make a 1-2 person, G-Force 2. Pulls well with our 195S. Kids love it. The tube is holding up well after a season and a half of use.

Just picked this up at the boat show. Even if we don’t actually tow with it much it should make a good sun pad. 2BB3F32E-2BB3-44BD-BE83-346084D87143.jpegA4A98CA3-EE73-4F7F-96BA-C82830A7D062.jpeg

Be aware its 8+ft across and massive, like a small island. Kids love it.

I also use a mege slice, I like having the riders laying down vs. sitting, I feel like if I throw them off they'll more than likely slide off vs being dumped over,

on a side note, both of the ones I have owned have changed from a flatter disk shape to more of a rounded front end, not sure if the seams in the bladder brake and it doesn't stay as flat,


I also have a chariot style for little kids that get scared on the water, it's an easier way to break them in to being behind the boat,

I started with a donut tube, won't ever get one of those again,

I always buy my tubes from Costco so when they fail I can exchange for a new one. Striker 3 is pretty close to the Big Mable.

Solstice pizza slice. Great for two people, also nice just to lounge on…especially with the crust as a backrest. Fabric is soft to the touch and durable.
