Default Where to Buy Inflatable Towables for Boating

Just boat a "new to my family" boat from a private sale. First boat for us. Looked kind of funny pulling the boat home Thursday on the HWY with all the snow.

We live in northern Alberta so our selection of dealers of these products is limited to CT.

Looking for input on where to buy towable products ? Who has a good selection? I recently seen the Green/Blue 3/4 person unit at Costco but my wife doesn't want this color...for the price point, she might just have to live with it

We are looking forward to a new exciting summer for our family !!

Thanks for the help.

Take your wife shopping for these items, she will find out the Costco one is her new favourite colour. If you get to Edmonton, Barry Jays has quite a few.

What every u get, make sure you get a patch kit, and have a backup inflatable. We travel with two small ones (1-2 person), one 3 person, and one 5 person. Trust me, it's no fun spending a day or two chasing around trying to find another toy when yours gets a hole. Especially when it take +24hrs for a patch to cure. Our kids almost started a revolution because the tube was broken last year and it was out only boating vacation that uear.. Yes there's always the skis/kneeboard/wakeboard, but tubing always wins.

Costco when in season. CT usually has a decent selection.

That's funny but true (you can't take it with you in the end) but the boys will enjoy it. Looking to buy the tube and a kids wakeboard this year.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I forgot about Barry Jays waterspouts store . We looked at Chaparral VRx boats 2 years ago there and then went into the watersports store.

I wAs at Costco at GP last week and they had the blue green one. I liked it as the colours seem to pop out. My wife wants to colour match everything to the boat.
