    Aquifer an older float tube minus the tube. I think it’s an 18” tube.

    Hi &dri made by Bucks Bags. It doesn’t say on their web site how big the tube is. But it does say there’s up to 22” of sitting space. So I am going with 22”.

    Buying? Selling? Giving away? Looking for a replacement bladder?

    Any truck tire inner tube will work in a pinch.

    If you used that tube before and liked it, then $90 for a new bladder from Buck's Bags (plus tax and shipping maybe) might be a good way to go. That's the only round bladder listed on their site. It's a $300 tube, after all. Did you call 'em or email them to see if they have a less expensive vinyl bladder to fit? The 90 dollar unit is lightweight urethane.
    If you've never tubed before and don't even know if you're gonna like it...90 bucks is a lot to gamble.
