Default Float tube for the larger gent

Hi All.

Im giving sreious thought to getting myself a float tube.
Does being a slightly larger bloke (6 foot 4 and 17 stone of second row) make any difference to which tubes i should be considering. I quite like the look of the Guideline drifter.

Cheers in advance for any advice.

Sheepy.
