Hello I am new, I have read through your forums and got most of my questions answered.

Looking at purchasing a Float Tube, After reading about Bladderless, That is the direction I want to go.  (only one thread on Bladderless)

I was focused on the Caddis Platinum Elite Float Tube. However while searching on amazon. I found this. It looks to be an exact copy of the Caddis Platinum Elite Float Tube just yellow. (cannot post a link yet but you can find it searching the terms below)

Wistar Fishing Inflatable Rafts Pontoon Float Tube Boat Set

I know most everything is made in china, and I know that production lines are commonly used to make knockoffs and are sold at a huge discount.

anyone have any thoughts.  I am thinking since it is amazon I could order it and check it out and if it is garbage send it back.

Welcome to the forum msav.

I say buy what you want and if you feel the need for change do it. I personally am always changing my mind evolving as I go and I expect everyone else is as well. Enjoy your time here and I hope to see the pics soon.

I have changed my mind like 30 times already.
I just discovered the 7 bass designs units. and am now back and forth between the Air Drop stitch line and the hybrid bladderless. now I see trolling motor mounts and lots of other accessories on their site.

does anyone know how long it takes to get an order fulfilled from these guys. I sent then an email and have not heard anything back from them.

I like the Maxxon XPW 240 as well. The problem is There is no stock anywhere. Seven bass designs appears to be closed, SO I cannot get an answer of shipping and stock availability.

Here I have the money to spend but I cannot find any stock available or anyone who is open to handle the sales questions.

I just realize you sell these. I noticed they are now $849. I saw on sportsman's warehouse they have them on sale for 799.00 But again no stock.

do you have these available, and what is the delivery time for it and shipping to Medford, Oregon.

I have been extremely frustrated in finding what I want in stock and with decent delivery time that is not 2+ weeks out. I am spoiled by amazon and I want everything in 2 days. LOL


Also give me details on how to order the quickest way possible without the back and forth on the forums or IM

So I am a drop shipper and simply take the order and payment through Square and pass that along to Maxxon. They are pretty quick maybe a week at the most. We will be sure to get you tracking so you can follow it in route.

Once I make the payment to them they get in the mail and out. It is coming from Washington State so that is pretty close to you. At least closer then it is to me.

As for Sportsmens Warehouse they always tried to under sell the Maxxon Product and lost there right to sell the product last year. Not sure why the keep it on there site. Any questions please let me know.

Thank you Greatly Appreciated.

I know with Covid Manufacturing is at a complete halt. I know that is why there is no stock of anything anywhere. so it won't surprise me if they are sold out and waiting for manufacturing to start back up.

if they do not have stock. I will probably just pick up whatever I can, even used for this year.

I have never float tube fished before. I always had a boat.  I moved here 7 years ago and had not went fishing once, until last week. I got the fishing bug and Hate bank fishing. I do not want the hassle of owning a boat.   I don't want to try this using an inferior float tube and have it discourage me from trying it again. That is why I want a decent If not the best one, so I have an enjoyable experience and continue float tube fishing. That is my rationalization of the whole scenario.

Hey, Jeff.

is that Velcro on each side next to the grommet lines?

if it is, is it hook side or loop side.

Is this the area you are asking about.

If so no it is not Velcro sorry. Seven Bass does have velcro as there attachment system and I have used it. It was a great idea but after using the GTS system setup with Maxxons Boats you can do so much more with it.

yes that is where I was referring to. That black strip must be the glue on PVC strip to secure the GTS grommets.

Looking at some of your photos/ videos, it looks like you have a grommet or 2 that are ripping. Or is that just an illusion
