Nice Tube For 160-200lb Adult?

[BoatNoobie]

dont have any experience with this. Will be first time ever. My dual transom line with pulley should be here in a couple of days.

Will be towing with a Merc 60HP.

So I'm looking for a nice tube to tow for a single adult. Any recommendations? I see a lot of them, but I dont know what is quality or junk.

Ive had nothing but good luck with the Airhead brand of tubes, They are really cheaply prices compared to the quicksilver/seadoo/obrien ones. We towe my dad around on a 60" airhead all the time, and hes 235lbs. Never have any problems.

As of right now, I'm leaning towards a O'Brien "Super Screamer". But apparently, this style tube is meant for belly down. Kinda want 1 where you can belly down and be on your back chilling while being pulled.

We have a Super Screamer and are quite pleased with it. It's stable enough to be relaxing with a mellow driver and can easily be whipped around wildly if the situation dictates. It can also be used by two kids at the same time. It seems ruggedly built as well.
