i tend to have multiple adult beverages when im in my tube, or on my toon. the only time i was ever concerned was in eastern washington, i was on my toon, and had 18 to many.... i have never used the apron to "strap" myself into the seat and went a little to forward to cut loose a brown i cuaght and took a nose dive, good thing i had my brother there and still had enough sense to reach up and grab my toon and make it to shore...
as far as a tube, i have a creek company U shaped tube. i have personally had 123532 to many beers on multiple occasions (wow i make it seem like thats all i do when i fish, please dont think that!) and have lipped bass, scooped slimers, and even needle nosed some pike in that thing and have never had even a thought of tipping over. i myself am a lrger guy myself at 6'1 and 215lbs.
the closest i have ever come to being flipped in my tube was when a ski boat came within 25 feet of me, and then cut hard left and his wake got me.... thats the only time i freaked a little. i promptly gave the gentlman a rude hand gesture. i typically sit so far back in my tube, its almost like being in the "man chair" here at the house thats its very relaxed.
TD is right on as usual...... i did the opposite of what he said... i had my tube and went fishing the next day without getting used to everything. but once i got used to my turns and leans i was good to go!
