Recently moved up to a two person towable. It seems this tube holds a lot of water after being pulled back into the boat. Not really a problem, but once I get the boat put back in the garage Id like to dry the tube to put that away also. After sitting in the garage draped over a stool for ~10 hours, its still pretty wet. Any ideas on drying it faster?

We hang ours up by the tow hook. After boating the kids have their chores... one is to rinse the tube and skis in fresh water then hang up the tube from the big tree in our front yard. It's an HO two person tube and like yours holds heaps of water, but it dries fast when partially inflated and hung up vertically with the rear zipper open.

I turn upside down to drain, and then lay in driveway in sun for a day. It wont fit in dryer!<br />Fully inflated, it drys in no time.

Big hair drier ? :D :p <br />Seriously, get it in the sun and/or wind and it will dry in no time. If you must store it in the garage, try aiming a fan at it overnite.
