Hi yet again TubeDude,
Yet another question. More and more it's getting had to distinguish between float tubes and Colorado river rafts!
Donuts, U-boats, Fat Cats, pontoon boats, inflatables, you name it!
I noticed that at least one manufacturer was making float tubes vulcanizng a lighter grade canvas as opposed to the rubber tubes or poly bladders and denier material as a cover.
The craft is advertised as being as good or better in durability as the inflatables like the zodiac. The entire tube is made thru a similar process with makes it impervious to hooks, dragging across rough ground, etc.
Do you think this is a sign of the future? or is it back to the future. ha ha
