Classic Accessories Colorado XTS Pontoon Boat with Swivel Seat

Well I love this pontoon it is handy as heck it's really easy to maneuver with the paddles and a small trolling motor works on it too I did have a problem with one of the pontoons it was leaking from the very first day but I just got a phone call from them and they told me it's all set up and it'll be shipped out as soon as they get one that's pretty good service if you ask me

I'm familiar with this brand and have purchased different models but couldn't wait to get this inflatble pontoon boat on the water. I did wait however to put this boat to the test for two seasons floating & fly fishing Montana rivers before writing a review.I really like the detachable bags holding my gear. Easy to attach for river floating and detach for travel.After two years and hundreds of hours floating rivers this boat has passed the test.The pontoon frames, seat frame, rear platform/cargo and foot pegs have stood the test and no issues with the frame clevis pins. The oars are in great condition and no stress fractures on the oar locks. Soft parts like the bladders, pontoons and valves in excellent condition....working properly even though I've had to portage once and these rivers have presented lots of strainers, gravel banks and hydraulics to name a few.I really like the under seat apron which has saved me from losing gear and allows a sportsman to quickly take measurements of fish as seen in the photo of a Westslope Cutthroat Trout while floating and fly fishing a river.You can travel with this boat assembled which I've carried in the back of a pickup, on top of an SUV and on a trailer or disassembled inside a vehicle or large compartment in a RV.This is a fishing machine and a stable watercraft with plenty of storage and a cargo capacity of 400lbs. For those who want to fish, camp and float.

I haven't had this in the water yet as the lakes near me are still iced over, but the build quality is much higher than I expected. The internet is full of easy mods that you can make to this to get it set up exactly the way you want. I made a couple of PVC rod holders to mount in place of the trolling motor mount and added a 3# grapnel anchor in place of the provided bag anchor. I am looking forward to getting off the shore and looking for bass & pike.

1. Weak floating: Spent on lake for an hour, one side started leaking air. My weight less than 150lb, before leaking my seat position was barely above the water level, imagine your situation. This definitely need to be enhanced.2. Weak navigation and transport: your sure need a motor, and upgrade the wheel(s)3. Fast assembly: I was able to assemble within 20 minutes and get it fully inflated same time.4. There are quite a few videos on YouTube sharing enhancement ideas such as adding a floor, upgrade the wheels

Box arrived in good shape and packaged well. I used to own an 8 foot pontoon and missed it even though I have a couple of kayaks. The XTS is their high end model and comes with swivel seat, rod holder, anchor system and huge detachable storage. The big extra is the transport wheel that can be stored when not in use. I took my time putting it together so about 90 minutes but I think it can certainly be done in less than an hour with 2 people. I have not had it in the water yet but didn't want to take it out on holiday weekend. There were no fit and finish issues and everything went together as instructed. I did a lot of research before buying this from Amazon and this is by far the best boat for the money. The only thing it didn't come with was a pump and the one I bought needed a bit of adapting to fit. I have a dual actin pump stored in one of the side pockets and there's still plenty of room for all my gear. I hadn't thought about it but I could actually take this on an overnight trip because there's plenty of room for a cooler or electric motor and battery. I think the box said 110 lbs and if you attach the wheel, that makes it a little heavy to lift in and out of pickup bed and it's a balancing act steering it around (I practiced in my driveway and guessing it would be difficult over uneven terrain, but doable). The oars are high quality and the only other thing I might get is a higher quality rod holder although I haven't tested it out. I am looking forward to testing it out this week and will update with any issues but I don't anticipate anything but fun!

I loved this thing it was comfortable, easy to assemble and transport. Easy to air up and gives the chest, shoulders and back an awesome workout. I had it on the water 3 to 4 times a week for about a month but then somehow both sides started loosing air and I was real careful to keep away from sharp rocks and things that would cause holes.They were great and gave me a full refund

I wasn't sure if this was the boat for me due to my weight (240#) and Heigth (6'4").After adding a Solar Panel, Battery, Standing Platform, Trolling Motor and raised the seat my first maiden voyage was a Success!!The Classic Accessories Colorado XTS Pontoon Boat is extemely stable and built very well.The only draw back i've found so far is the wheel. Being a single wheel it's kind of a chore to move around without tipping over. I will be upgrading to (2) wheels next as shown in YouTube videos.I tried a few times to upload a pic but didn't work, sorry.Other than that, I couldn't be happier!

Good for lakes and streams! Make very sure you read how to run rivers before taking it to any stream or river!!! Running rivers will require training from river guide!!!

Totally awesome! I did a lot of research on many of these boats. Overall quality and workmanship is excellent! I've only had it out once so far, and it is all around 5 stars. I am 6 ft. tall and 335lbs. This boat stands up to exactly as described. Lots of room for storage and convenience. The only thing I struggle with is putting the transport wheel in place, so I'm going to make a kick stand type of holder out of 2x2 to lift the back of the boat for ease of install. Looking forward to many outings on it!Tight lines...PL

Pretty Cool! My first inflatable pontoon boat, It arrived a day early with free shipping. Assembly was very easy, and breakdown for storage was even easier. I just left the pontoon frames attached to the deflated pontoons, and folded the pontoon around it. I haven't had it in the water yet (it's still pretty cold out!) but I'm looking forward to it. Bought myself a transom mount electric motor, and when weather permits, I'll be out checking it out! If you are on the fence about buying one of these, just do it! You won't be disappointed! Yes, a dinghy is infinitely cheaper, but these are awesome!

Parcontre ne rentre pas dans un sac comme sur la photo ..ne vous laissez pas avoir la dessus..ca remplis une valise d auto assez vite ..ca me prend environ 15 min a monter tres facile avec une pompe électrique bon marché pour ensuite fermer la valve et finir avec une pompe manuel une dizaine de coups suffit a atteindre la bonne pression ..bon a savoir qu une pompe électrique qui ouvre la valve et gonfle au complet le ponton vaut environ 130$ pour une pompe sup que ca s appelle...

Well built boat, very easy to assemble. Had an issue with a broken part and one call to the help line resolved it quickly. Boat is stable and not as heavy as reviewers have suggested. Anchor system is a bit cheesey but I will use something different. Lots of storage and a great stripping basket.

Well made, good instructions and easy to assemble. Can easily carry it in the basement storage of my Class A motorhome. Instead of picking up rocks on the shoreline for the anchor bag, consider buying a small anchor instead.
