"Wanted" Tube

[keith4216]

I'm looking for a pull tube. I don't want to spend a couple hundred on a tube to use a couple times. Any one with a used one they have used a couple times and are now looking to get rid of?

I got one through this place http://sportsstuff.com/ Mine has a bottom that blows up as well so its easy for the kids to ride in it. I got it at walmart 2 years ago and think I payed under $30. I should have bought more as they compare to the $80+ tubes. I've had some big people on it and slinging the crap out of them and the tube (other than being a little faded) still looks new.

Thanks for the link. I'm still only seeing tubes for hundreds. Maybe I should say towable tubes not the sit and drink tubes. If you could link me to a towable tube for what you say yours was that would work. thanks I just looked at walmart.com they do have a few for $100 or less. Just not sure if its a get what you pay for deal. I'd hate to blow it out the first time somebody gets crazy. On the other hand I guess I could just send it back if it did blow!

I don't have one. But you may want to go check out bass pro. They have a clearance section that i have seen them in.

Keith, they don't have the one listed that I have anymore. I know walmart has special "only walmart" stuff (keeps people from price shopping since model or part# is different). And Walmart does not have it listed. I will have to check but I might have one here still that I got for x-mas. I know its green with a black 1/2 cover (top is open) and nice mesh carrying case if your interested. I know it was around the $100 mark new and has only sat in the garage collecting some dust. If interested I will pull it and post you a pic and then you can make a offer on it!

Tow Tube

Brain,

I found a decent single person tow tub (Airhead brand) nice vinyl tube with a Cordura type cover about 3 years ago from a local re-sale sports store (Play-it-Again-Sports) I paid $49.99, it was new in the box. I've beat the crap out of it and it still looks new!

Long story short...here's their webpage...not sure if you have any local re-sale shops there, but worth a look!?!

Also, Sam's Club and Costco have had seasonal tow tubes for less than I have seen anywhere...again, not sure if you have those local to you, but worth a shot! We bought our Carribean Island there for $58.00 and on-line the same ones were $199.99-$250.00!

Now the wife says she would like too have a two person!
If you get a chance to take a pic I would still like to see what you have. If you can just take one of the box that would be fine. I don't want you to go thru pulling it out and trying to get it back in just so I can show the wife. No hurry
Thanks

Just keep driving up down your local interstate. I found an awesome 2 man tube laying on the side of I-75 last summer. Damn thing is huge!!! took up the entire bed of my truck!! It was a sportstuff. Turning around to pick it up made me 15 minutes late to work, but it was worth it for a almost $400 tube!!!

Other than that, I'd say to keep checking clearance sections at places like Overtons or Bass Pro, or keep searching craigslist.
