I was digging through my bookmarks, and I came across this link.  It's a discussion on what to do if you're a larger person and wish to have a safe, comfortable tube without the excess costs.

Have you guys seen the tubes that are sold in Canada? They have a model with a trolling motor mounted and compartment for battery. I saw a U-Tube video of a young kid who has his own website. He was interviewing the guy and using the tube in a small lake. But its big and bulky.....Sorry I don't remember the name of Tube...........GT

Yes. I was searching "float tube" on eBay, day before yesterday, and ran across them.
As I recall, they were quite colorful and looked to be pretty tidy... At least nice looking.
