I need your input ... please!

I have (2) two inflated Cumberland Float Tubes (3rd still NIB) that have been used for about the same amount of time each and yet they are not sewn together in China for their exactness. 🤣 lol

I am building a final hard lap tray for my Cumberland and I encountered a work stopping dilemma while measuring for my new spreader bar. Both of my current float tubes measure differently, across from pocket to pocket.

My issue is:
I measured one tube from back of pocket to back pocket and it measured 28 1/4” [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
I measured one tube from back of pocket to back pocket and it measured 31 inches.

If a few of you out there would please inflate your float tubes; very tight skinned, and then measure them from ......

“the front side of the back of pocket to front-side back of pocket “ ........

and let me know what you get for a measurement please.

The reason that I’m doing this is I’m trying to achieve an average length with other Cumberland float tubes; for my spreader bar, so it will work on any Cumberland float tube.
I would like to make my average from four or more other tubes.

I plan to use a 1” x 28 1/2” piece of white PVC cut at 45° to the long points. That will work as an average.

Thanx in advance!  Thumbs Up

What is the length or lengths of the factory spreader bars?
When I use my Cumberland with out a spreader bar or net it really "tacos" up on me.

I am not at home right now so I can't measure mine.

Hey Jerdon,

If I didn’t $ale the manufacturer’s spreader bar in my last (NIB) Cumberland box; and if I can locate it, then I can use it to measure and cut my new spreader bar.

Or .... if somebody out there is presently using a Cumberland manufactured spreader bar, would you please share its length with me, from long point to long point.
Thank you 🙏

I dug my 3rd Cumberland out of my cabinets and I found all the parts in the box.
So .... the official Cumberland supplied PVC spreader-bar is
28 1/4” in length, long point to long point.
