seeking feedback on marinas

Yeah...sorry for the typos. I didn't mean to refer to any "lightswords." Indeed the keychain has a remote that turns on/off the courtesy lights to assist with boarding and disembarking (whoa...fancy word for a newby). I don't know yet if this neat idea will be useful for us or not..."it comes with the boat." I like the idea of auto-up or down for the trim tab. Sounds like a winner to me.

Okay gang...there are a LOT of inner tubes on Ebay. For what am I really looking? I want something that my 7 and 4 year olds will feel wild in, but their parents will feel is exceedingly safe. Here are some pictures of the offerings:

Thanks very much for your thoughts,

Friends of ours have a 2 person Patriot Duo (? or is it Duo Patriot ?). It's a good sized ovoid inflatable with 2 separate, side by side seats. Seems to be very stable going over wakes and still can get a lot of air. I don't have a picture to post but you can view it at the link below. Look through a catalog (Overtons, West Marine, etc) and you can find a lot of these things.

Be carefull with any duals. You need one observer over 13 years old for each person on the tube. The boat driver can't be the observer so with two adults and two kids you really can't utilize a dual. If you get one make sure it will ride straight with just one passenger.
