Arrow Float Tube Bladder Replacements

Hello Everyone!

Does anyone know where to find replacement inner tubes for belly boats in Edmonton or Hinton? My girlfriend and I inherited a couple belly boats that by the colours look to be from late 80's early 90's (they are neon). I patched one like 6 times but the rubber is still weak in many spots so replacement is necessary. The original ones are made from hankook tires. I need them ASAP because we are heading down to southern BC on the 25th.

Thank you greatly!

Tight lines!

If they are the same as my first float tube then they use vehicle tire tubes...mine took a 16" tube.

A tire shop that sells semi tires should be able to fix you up.

I looked, they are TROUT TRAP boats, there are two inner tubes per, one says ER14 (smaller one behind head) and the large one says 8.25-20. thats all the info printed. The small one is about 45cm in diameter, but the large one is ~85cm in diameter. any info will be greatly appreciated because I am lost.

Take them into a tire shop and they should be able to match you up with new tire inner tubes.

Semi truck tire tube worked perfect in mine. Even has the bent valve stem so it is out of the way.
