Big Mable or Big brawler tube

[truckermatt]

Hello, I know this is another tube thread but i have narrowed it down to two tubes.
Sportstuff big mable http://www.sportsstuff.com/dyn_prod.php?p=SPT53-2213&k=68034

OR

gladiator big brawler https://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?r=view&i=16842


As you can see they are very similar of not identical. Just looking to see what some owners have to say.
Do they submarine at low speeds?
Do they flip easily when driven hard?

I am leaning towards the big brawler because i have a Overtons gifts card to help with the price.

Thanks for your help.

Matt

Re: Big Mable or Big brawler tube

I have a Mable and a Big Mable the Mable is over 5 years old and the Big Mable is 4 years old. My kids love them! they are very durable and stable to ride. My brother has a Brawler and has no problems with it. find the best deal and buy that one and you won't be disappointed.

I'd try the big brawler. I have a super mable it's about 3 yrs old and it has a big buldge in the middle when it is inflated. And after a few times around the lake the liner fills up with water and the back rest will lay down, the first big mable i had, i had a tear in the seam on the air blader at the end of the summer. The company replaced it for nothing, but the replacement didn,t last long until it had a buldge in it.

Thanks for the replies, I was think the big brawlers also based on the fact that i havent read any bad reviews, but with the mable I have read them. But yesterday I found a big mable for $80 off one day only, so I ordered it, Hopefully it works out

Now I just have to try and sell the Airhead g-force tube... :-(

For others considering these:

My guess is the Brawler is made by Sportsstuff. You can call Sportsstuff support to find out. That is how it was with our Bonzai that was sold by Cosco. It was the exact same as the Rampage, just different graphics.

Also, allot of Overtons products can be ordered from Gander online. Just search on the part number. Gander has free shipping on most stuff.

How much would you sell the g-force tube for?

Re: Big Mable or Big brawler tube

Well I got the Big Mable in my possession now, Got it for $164 with tax. Originally $229 The store has a website glitch on prices and i got them to match the price.

I inflated it and it looks about the same size as the airhead g force but it has a backrest..

Hope to try it out this weekend supposed to be 90 and humid but dry.

BTW, selling a tube on craigslist stinks because people have the most lame excuses not to show up when they promise.
