How many separate air bladders does this float tube have? I'm also comparing it against the U-boat 2000 (which appears longer).

It has 2, the main one that fills the U and a smaller one for the backrest. It's a really basic tube and that's probably why so many folks like it.

I don't have the bladder handy to measure. We replaced a 2 liter bladder with this one and it fits in our small pack well. We love this bladder ...no leaking at the mouthpiece! I don't think you will have any trouble with the size, if you do...Amazon has a great return policy.

the boat is amazing so far and does indeed look like a banana. Why does that bother you? It is very sturdy and tracks very well. I even have my dog in it and can actually walk on top of the kayak while on a lake and change seats without disturbing the kayak or falling into the water. The ends come up slightly as you don't want water to spill in when you speed up. I also ordered the longer 96" paddles as the airhead paddles are only 84" or so, much more pull with the longer paddles.

It comes with a 2L bladder, at least mine did. I was able to fit a 3L Platypus bladder in but it was tight. See my answer to the question re: this.

I can say that in my experience the stock boat does perform like the one in the videos. This little thing is so amazingly fast for its size. If it were any faster you would have real difficulty keeping it upright. You will want to run it in relatively calm water if you want to open it up full throttle.

I will have to check the exact dimensions and get back to you on 7/15. But the bladder itself is extremely similar to the camelbak hydration packs. Which is one reason I purchased it; this is half the price of just a bladder for the camelbak.

It comes with oars and a small pump. I later bought the large pump sold separately. It is faster than the electric pumps sold for air matresses. You want to get into & out of this boat in knee deep water. I am having fun fishing with this boat.

Last answer should say the picture shows a long tube with two pads on it.......

The "Air Dream Replacement Air Chamber Queen" is basically the air mattress itself. "Bladder" would just be another name for it. In the pic it is the top 'gray' portion above the springs. You do however need the correct inflator for it if you don't already have one.

I believe the air chamber and the bladder are the same thing. I ordered this also, and what came was a new air mattress to go inside of the old outer lining. Hope that helps!

The tube is 46 inches long, but this includes the 3 inch bite valve assembly and about 1 inch of rigid attachment at the bladder. It is already fully covered with a neoprene sleeve. I'm not sure what kind of cover you're looking at, but it sounds like the longer one (960mm) might be appropriate.

The pump comes with two plastic tubes; one is small with a diameter similar to a drinking straw, maybe ~1/4-inch, and the other is larger with a diameter of ~1/2-inch. The smaller tube looks designed to fit in a standard dipstick tube. I have used the pump once but my boat's twin engines have a large dipstick opening so I have not actually stuck the tube down a standard dipstick tube but I'm confident the smaller tube will fit a standard dipstick tube. PS: Note that on my pump the flow direction arrows were backwards and it took me a few minutes to figure out the problem and get the pump working.

The boat has to double valve so it makes it super easy to blow up and deflate! I have no complaints about this boat I bought it last spring and have had a blast with it!!

No bladder included.. but it has a big velcro pouch for one. This seems to be the same bag that is pictured elsewhere along with a bladder and sip tube. So it can be easily added.

It is in fact a 2Litre Bladder that I bought ....however this brand makes bladders in a variety of sizes so you can get one that is precisely what you want and need.

The specifications do not have those numbers. All I can tell you is, we have three grand children and thier parents who use the "tube" every weekend during the summer and it performs extreamly well.Never loses air. Suggest you also purchase the special air pump they recommend. Light and fills quickly with supplied attachments.

You will need a pump. This has a separate air bladder and shell. The bladder requires some pressure to make the boat still, and you cannot blow enough pressure with your lungs to do a good job. I bought a different brand of pump because it was cheaper. It works well, but the fit on the valves is a little tight, so I recommend you purchase the Advanced elements brand pump. Read the instructions before unpacking. Follow the instructions. With the presure right, the inside acts as a backrest, and the paddling effort is ok. If it is too soft, no back support, and paddleing is rather slow. Follow the instructions, and it is a nice compromise of cost, convenient storage, and efficiency. You will need a pump.
