Aluminum would be great.
I put this together with what I had in the garage, since stores are a long way away. I want to experiment with it to see how well things work and what to change before I switch to better materials. More ideas and suggestions are what it is all about. What works for me, someone else can improve on, or adjust to fit what they have or need.
The H3 and Fat Cat size of tubes would have no problem at all. I was in some rough water so it was kind of hard to tell, but I don't think I was sitting down much deeper in the water. When just the battery and motor are on the tube it sits at a tilt, but with me in the tube too it leveled out nicely.
On the weight I am around 140 then you add 50 or what ever pounds for the battery. The motor is probably around 15 lbs maybe??
