Being 6'2" and around 185 on a good day I was wondering what would be athe best float tube for me. Pontoon, U-boat or what? New design or old design? Price?

Pontoon tubes are best in my opinion.  You ride higher.

I have a (now discontinued) caddis pontoon tube that allowed you to adjust the seat level, I can actually have my butt right at the water's surface.  I haven't been out on it in over a year.

At any rate, I am heavier than you and would very much recommend a pontoon style tube.
