Thanks for your insight, hadn't thought of the snapping turtles -
:rofl:I grew up swimming with snapping turtles and playing in swamps. Never had one try and bite me until I started dragging them out of the water by there tail. I wouldn't worry too much about them just biting you because you are in their territory.
Worry more about the 5 inch rapala in the brush pile you kick over backward. Or the broken line in the weeds with the big ass bait hook.. Nothing like burying a hook in the back of your leg that is on line wrapped around a submerged tree.. Think about how hard it would be to reach the back of your leg or foot in a float tube in water deeper than your waders...>

:wave:
I have never had any of those happen..
But this summer I was night fishing a local gravel pit in the pontoon and i got a branch caught in the frame straps toward the back of the boat. As I was craning backwards trying to get it loose the seat back broke almost sending me into a brush pile backwards..... That woke me up!
It sounds like a nice tube. I am sure you would love it. Especially if you do not have any other way of getting out on the water. Should be some deals out there this time of year.
