As of 2020 Maxxon is welding the air holding seams on their pontoons and rafts to increase lifespan. For more Maxxon information also see the write-up's for the other sizes. Normally blue and gray will be the standard stock colors for most pontoons, but in this 25” diameter fourteen foot size the inventory will be extremely limited for the rest of 2019. A lighter sky blue may be the only color we can get. The few other large-diameter options are either U.S. made, or hypalon, and those other brands are nearly twice the cost.
Maxxon does have a 21” diameter version of this tube, which runs $20 less per pair than these 25" tubes. Rocky Mountain also makes a three-chamber tube with welded D-rings for just a little bit more money.
The XPT-14 X 25” tubes are around 69 pounds per pair. The appearance is slightly different now since there is no longer a circumference seam near the bow and stern - they are a continuous curve design. The top and bottom chafers are a generous 11” wide. The main seam on the Maxxon tubes runs lengthwise on the bottom, and it is almost completely covered by the bottom chafer. There are four D-rings per side, and two chambers per tube with Leafield C7 valves. The frame chafer on top is roughly 9'3” long. The bow & stern rise is only a few inches, but this keeps the usable frame length maximized, and the resultant long waterline also makes rowing easier through calm water. These come with a foot pump, and a minimal patch kit. They do not come with a carry bag.
The warranty is five years, though with the new Maxxons having welded seams your lifespan should be around 25 years. The image above is NOT the 25” tube but rather of the smaller diameter version and it is an older photo.
