Which motor to get?

Footprint of the tube or toon will make a difference. By that I mean the width of the toon. not so much the length. My Cardiac Canyon had 12" diameter toons, but it was 12' long. It did great with a 30. In fact sometimes too fast. But my X5 are 15" diameter (by diameter, a straight line up the middle, so 15 is a lot bigger than 12). Bigger foot print. Float tubes are total drag, so they would tax a small motor more than a pontoon will.
Just like a boat pulling a water skier or one of those kids tubes. More footprint = more drag.
