Having almost lost a friend in a turtle incident, I cannot fathom why anyone would even consider being in a float tube of questionable condition. I lost a bladder once on a lake and I barely made it back to shore. Cheap or old float tubes are death traps. After that no more PVC bladders for me, but lots of people use them.
The Outcast PVC line would be the lowest end I'd look at, and they are pretty bad in comparison to the Fat Cat line with proper urethan bladders. My opinion only--but from one who spends 85% of his fishing from a tube or pontoon, and always with an inflatable PFD. Conservative, risk averse, but possibly life saving.
