Looking for a lightweight 2 or 3 person tube

Hi guys,

I have the assignment to get my in-laws a tube for Christmas. They just got a 50hp pontoon which should tow the little ones fine. But neither of my inlaws are in are in great health. My main concern is getting them something light enough that they can handle. Durability is of secondary concern for sure.

I love the large 2 person (holds 4 kids) chariot warbird I have and it's built like a tank, but once it's filled with water, I struggle to get it up on a dock. No way my in laws could handle that thing on or off the water with the heavy nylon cover.

Probably just a cheaper non-covered PVC 2 person tube would be best for them. I read a review on Overtons from "checkmatin" - Oley, PA about a razor towable - so winter, how do you like that one??

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks guys!
 
Non-covered pvc probably wouldn't last very long, pvc isn't a very strong material on its own. All the non-nylon covered tubes I can find (including razor) are polyester covered.
 
I see what you mean - I didn't find many (any) un-covered tubes. I guess just a smaller 2 person tube would be the ticket for them. Any recommendations??
