A couple of more thoughts.
1. In this litigious world we live in manufacturers usually under-rate capacities to give a safety margin. A tube rated for 350 lbs may work fine for 400. Just a thought.
2. I'm having a hard time getting up and down and keeping my balance on the bank where I regularly fish. The other day I realized that being 30 pounds lighter would probably make a big difference, and it would sure help in the fall when I'm trying to run up and down elk mountains [
]. You might gently encourage him to drop a few pounds to meet the capacity limit. No shaming, just a motivator?

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
