wich float tube for bigger guy??

well i dont own a float tube but i am really interested in getting one, but my main concern is me being a bigger guy witch one would be best for me or should i just stay away from one. im 6'1 315lbs and Ive read the cumberland holds 350 but from the research ive done thats seems like the only one. is that right? or is there other ones that will hold? also would i be cutting it close with all my tackle? i dont want to buy one if its not going to hold me. Also for all u bigger guys how difficult is to be on one of these?? well i will really appreciate ur feedback

I dont own a cumberland but a few of the other members do & it seems to be a very solid Tube & also at a very good price!

I'm borderline 350lb without my gear and the Cumberland holds me up above the waterline no worries.

Yupp Cumberland is the way to go
I'm 6'3 at like 230lbs and holds me up fine (:

yes the cumberland is very nice and the other choice i would say to look at is thbe big horn 350 lbs and more stable made by the same company lots of room in the those pockets the big horn keep you in the water a lil lower but being lower also helps on reducing the wieght cause of the body tens to float . its like a big lazy boy chair that floats . i own they both and like them both there is a difference those the valve are different the cumberland is a pontoon type and the big horn is is a u boat type that why the bigger horn is more stable great for the ocean . but either one will work if you can go to the work shop the forum is having the cumberland and the big horn will be there good uck on your choice you cant go wrong either way

i'd go with the Cumberland! gotta love the cumberland tube.

Like most have mentioned, the cumberland is the way to go for us bigger guys! 250lb and floats me just fine with all my gear.

I am 280 pounds and I'm 5'10 it hold me up perfectly just gotta have good fins cause I eventually get tired after like 5-7 hours of tubing but I got a Cumberland and I love it

thanx for the info but just out of curiosity if u had to pick one wich one would it be? i see the cumberland is more then the big horn so for me going with the big horn would be better as money is on the tight side but its not much so is their a big difference?? any1 else has some info on wich one they would pick?
