Triangle or Round Tube - which is better for water tubing?

I picked up a boat recently and want to buy a tube but I'm not sure which is better for a one person towable? Looking to boogy pretty fast across the waterNothing extreme but would be nice to try a trick or twoAny idea's?

Answer:

Depends on the size of your boatI have a 150HP so for me, it doesn't matterThey will all go fastI had once a 20HP on a 16 foot aluminum and it could get a round one up with a 160 pound person, but not a 200 pound personNever tried the triangle ones but i suspect it wouldn't make a differenceIn the end, its all up to your boatIf you want a sure thing, Get something more bullet shaped that you sit on high in the waterI had one called a ski bob, don't know if they still make them, but they pretty much don't need to break water, they sit pretty high up.
I certainly agree with the above answer,aluminum heads are good,rigid light disperse heat well,your best bet would be to look for a replacement.
