I got a TU Colorado last fall and had the same problem on my first trip out. I used one of those air pumps that plugs into your car cigarette lighter, it just didnt get enough air in there. Get yourself a hand operated pump that is dual directional (pumps on the up and down strokes). I picked up a cheap one at wal-mart for $10 and it works great. Cabelas and everyone else also carry some version of these. I can fill both pontoons faster with the hand pump than one with the electric pump. Just make sure you pump them up good and solid and you shouldnt have any trouble. I weigh 230' and carry a trolling motor, deep cycle battery, cooler and lots of other crap that gets in my way while I fish and mine has held up awesome.
