That’s a big tube. We have 4 tubes and the kids all prefer Big Mable the best. Tough to lose them on it, which is the reason they like it. When deflated, we fold Mable up and put it in the rear floor compartment in our 232. Fits fine.

Great pics! What's the story with the big ass ball halfway down your tow rope? LOL

The ball keeps the rope out of the wake and the rope has some stretch to it to minimize the whiplash effect. This way the little tikes can have a wild and exciting ride without feeling like they were in a car wreck. 😉

We have this one. It's a convertible tube. You can ride 3 on it and it has 2 bladders that come out to allow 2 riders to sit in a cockpit. Best of both worlds really. It's pretty big, but very stable and rides well. The other hidden advantage is we fill the cockpits up with ice at the sandbar and voila---instant cold drinks and table! We got it at a silent auction for a steal....
