Here are a few thing that might be still on craigs list

The second link ED posted is the best deal!!!

I would stay away from the round tube....go with the open front.

Bring her out to a fishing event and have some fun! As some of the others here already said, by all means do not get a closed front Donut tube. Especially for a youth. The open front U shaped tubes are so much safer getting in and out. Where have you been taking her tubing at?

i think the round one is a good kids one i had my son in the open front one he flip my buddys daughter used the round one and she looked a lot safer but to neach his own and if i want to get one for my son i would get a round one untill he grow out of it just my 2 cents
but sonar has been tubing way longer than me i have only been doing it sence febuary so just consider the spects and i say go from there
the lost lake u tube from bass pro shop has a safty belt that goes from the set to the from appron bar and that keep the tube on top of my son i thank god for his to be a strong swimmer i dont know but it looks like you really sit low in the round tube keeping the weight down low but when my son flipped it was his fault he reach for the sea scooter and grab the trigger and his arm were over the top support bar and push him back causing the tube to flip and he was in the water lol funny now but not at the time so i say round tubes for lil people and open tubes for bigger people but like i said i could be wrong and if any one had anything to add or anything to say different please let me know cause ii want to get my son back out there thank ed

well you see there is thing i missed i think lc is right but i am not sure on that safty belt that keeps you from slidding out

Ed, I have to disagree with you on this one. The round tube is a "DEATH TRAP". I do have one and will never let anyone use it. The main reason I say it is a "DEATH TRAP" is due to the fact if for some reason you flip or roll the tube it is very very difficult to get out of the tube leaving your head under water! Plus you sit further in the water than most tubes.

Open tubes are much safer....if something does go wrong you can get out of the tube.

point taken and i do agree i guess i was thinking it would be harder to flip a round tube than an open one. thanks for your info i will not be getting another round tube i will stick to open front tube i will now have to convince my son that the open one is still safer thanks sonar oh and are we doing the harbor this weekend i know the other post would be better to ask but i am here lol

Really would like to join you but I popped another bladder....waiting for my new tube to arrive!

New tube what are you getting

A new Nav II....it is $40 for the bladder or $150 for new tube...got the new tube. Think I might order the bladder anyway just to get the other tube back in working order.

Cool deal bro.

Ed5000x- thanks for the heads up on the caddis nevada I'm going to get her that one.
Lagunacoconut- yes, I've taken her out 3x in Huntington harbor 5 minutes from my house. She has caught sandies and 1 small halibut. Yes, were going to team up for the tourney I need the help! Haha
