Oh, and as far as hubby sitting lower, he most CERTAINLY would sit lower.
I'd guess he's 100 lbs more than you? Then you'd need to have 100 lbs worth of volume of water (approx 12 gallons more) of tube under water. Assume the cross section of the 'toons at the water line is 8" wide and 48" long (total WAG here) x 2, you'd sink just over 3.5" lower (assuming the pontoon was totally rigid and didn't banana in the center). (8" x 48") x 2 pontoons x 3.6" deep = ~12 gallons = ~100 lbs of water.
If I could get the actual dims on the actual 'toon I could get closer.
