Naturally everyone is different, but I fish regularly with a friend with a knee replacement. We have fished Strawberry right after ice off in pontoon boats this year, and last week. The cold water doesn't seem to bother him, but the knees are pretty much out of the water on a pontoon boat.
He is about a year into his replacement. He doesn't do much paddling with his fins, he use them just to steer the boat ,and lets the motor do the work. He seems to be getting along fine with a pontoon boat, not sure how he would do in a float tube.
As mentioned maybe go out with someone with an extra pontoon boat, and see how it goes. I have an extra pontoon boat, and motor, if interested we could get on the water ,and see how it goes. Always game for a fishing trip.
