You need to turn the plywood sideways and stagger them since the pontoons are running length ways , it will flex in the watger if you run them length ways , just cutb one in half and stagger them 8 and 4 then 4 and 8ft ,it will be a whole lot stronger

[@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel]

A small amount of flex is a lot better than something breaking because it's too rigid . I understand what you're saying when it comes to home building , I have 35 years experience in construction . But this is a boat , not a house .

[@Bootneck-RMC]

He's already said that he was going to be staggering the seam.

[@10marlie]

A lot of people here have made some good points regarding structural engineering. I have built, as a professional, 300 catamarans. In waterways that are protected this will be safe enough. However, there is virtually no torsional stiffness to this build. If the waves are over 12” the boat will be extremely susceptible to torsional racking. This will rapidly start popping welds. So there is two ways to handle the structural requirements. Build it like Polynesians did, with double canoes and beams lashed together to allow flex. Or create beams and attachments that are able to resist this torsional movement. This beam attachment and beam really require proper engineering.

[@WaterfrontJustin]

One thing the comments seem in agreement of is that there are plenty of ways this will fail if not addressed and it'll be spectacular to see. I am here for it.

That thing's gonna fold in half and that tub is for sure going in the bottom of the water at the first wave... I am in the boating industry and this thing cannot hold.

[@kentmckean6795]

I would not weld the hot tub box to the center pontoons. This will be a high stress area and will likely crack in short order. Keep them separate and weld a flat end plate onto the pontoons and leave a gap between the pontoons and the hot tub box. Use a flexible caulking if you need to make it a streamlined joint.

[@trentgay3437]

Not a bad idea at all. you could even weld a bit of sheet aluminum to the box and under the center tubes to make sure its not a water catch when that thing is plowing the water.

[@briankuhn7396]

I really hope they read this because you're absolutely right.

[@lambo1diablo1]

I was thinking the exact same thing. It does not look strong at all welded to the hot tub. But I am not a professional.

[@doughammer2161]

1000% correct!

[@Naturalchorus]

make sure you use ALL 316 stainless for your hardware! anything else will melt the aluminum around it, its good to use a little insulation washer/caulk as well. Gotta prevent galvanic corrosion.

[@jonshellmusic]

Very true. Otherwise they will have inadvertently created hundreds of tiny useless batteries powering nothing corroding every attachment point into oblivion.

[@mrlithium69]

You need to seal off the center pontoons first before welding to the hot tub box. Thats the weakest part of the boat and any cracks in the weld between the hot tub box and the pontoon are going to flood the inside of the pontoon....

[@Sun-ut9gr]

agreed, guy needs to cap those pontoons off before welding them to that box. He should still have the offcuts from making the outers

[@Gerard_Blooter]

[@gavinhicks7621]

Something from the racing world that might be a good idea on the boat. Slightly pressurize the pontoons and have gauges for them wherever the captain would be at. If there’s any damage or anything even a pin hole the pressure will change and you’ll know there’s a problem. The racing world used this to detect microscopic cracks in the frame of cars throughout races from fatigue.

[@artlife6210]

Man this is going to be a bad ass party barge guys!!! Just a note from a marine mechanic mindset here..The outboards being forward of the outer toons is going to plow the last six feet of the outer toons when you turn, that may cause the boat to tip outward during turns(pontoon boats dont lean into turns), you may want to think about putting them on the outer toons or at least leaving yourself the option if that becomes and issue, good luck fellas!!

[@AakeTraak]

Don't listen to the haters. The hottub is a great idea. Perhaps make it bigger. I mean, why swim in the lake when in the lake?

[@chele-chele]

Personally, having built a monster party barge, I'd weld the cross members as well as adding triangular supports between them fore to aft or you'll have racking problems that will apply all of the stress to the screws fastening your ply decking. May as well name it The Crusty Crab cause it'll be moving in anything but a straight line... Others have pointed out that you'll need to isolate the fasteners too or the stainless and aluminum will weld together through galvanic response and eventually fail thus making welding a much more attractive and structurally sound choice.

[@robfromtoledo9514]

I commented this on your last video and will say again I think you should weld some angle along the bottom of the center two tubes right across the bottom of the hot tub box. Counting on all that bracing just on top to hold that massive box filled with a heavy hot tub and a few people with waves is just going to rip the nose of this thing apart. Your bow gets the most hits from waves and with a heavy box filled with water you're going to want as much support as you can get. Plus, some crossmembers to prevent racking the whole structure. Don't count on the plywood to give you the strength that the RH pontoon wont creep a couple inches ahead of the LH pontoon.

[@TheRedRaven_]

You should weld QD air valves on all the pontoons to do a leak/pressure test with soapy water in case you damage the hull.

[@ChadNewitz]

Soapy water!

[@mikep3509]

Some added insurance against “snapping a pontoon in half”. Maybe weld a length of C-channel the whole length of the outer pontoons to the vertical component of the stringer supports. Just a thought. Looks awesome though.

[@adamperro]

The front of the boat is the only part of the boat that only has 2 pontoons. So it's going to have an extra 4000 pounds of weight with half the buoyancy. You guys are always super smart about what you do so I'm sure it'll work. It just seems like it wouldn't haha. Such a cool build. Can't wait to see it on the water!

[@ArtilleryAndy]

Seal the center pontoons before welding to the tub. The caps did not have the weight and flex youll see with that 5000lb brick attached to the front of them. Maybe grind down and invert the caps inward and weld them a few inches inside for minimal water cavity.

[@trentyoung1135]

For increased control and maneuverability, the motors should be placed on the outside pontoons.

[@ChadNewitz]

As this does not have a keel of any sort, almost all turning will be tank style with engine power, not steering wheel

[@bay7695]

@@ChadNewitz wait, this thing has steering wheel? tried to look at 3d sketch and didnt see any control panel like structures.

[@andy2108]

Look at big party barge pontoon designs. Maybe even travel to check out how theyre built. You will definitely want the engines all the way at the very back (to balance out the hot tub) and all the way out to the sides (to maximize directional authority for maneuvering, especially at low speeds).

[@Ben_Biggers]

You should look into a bow thruster for this. Not sure if they make external ones but the smaller pontoons can be hard to maneuver in any slight wind, I think this might be even more difficult in the marina with its length and wind catching ability.

[@trentgay3437]

I been leaving the same comment every video. 👍

[@FarmerFpv]

[@MX304]

You need a lot more triangulation in the cross bracing under the floor. Your decking is going to flex and buckle otherwise. Plus as someone commented below, you have to stagger the decking and run the grain across, not lengthwise bow to stern.

[@chele-chele]

Yep, she's gonna rack...

[@shawnk7084]

Agree 100%

[@OneTruePhreak]

The decking is plywood. The grain runs in both directions. The biggest weakness is in the framing.

[@hedleypepper1838]

The floor effectively is cross bracing. It's substantial stuff. I disagree with grain cross boat thing bow to stearn is marginally better as the c supports are port to starboard. Obviously staggering boards is goid idea. Being plywood it's relatively good in either direction. But the longer length should be perpendicular to the cross members obviously

[@drewdavies6763]

Cool Boat. I would strongly recommend building/ installing some truss type frame between the tubes. Those .090 tubes that you spool gun welded together will not survive much twisting without cracking the saddles and potentially cracking the welds around the circumference of your co-joined tubes. In general when using tubes with individual saddles we always install 2" square inside corner angle over the tops to tie all the saddles together. You may want to consider a bow thruster as well, that is alot of windage. Good luck with the build. Very creative

[@bobcollard11]

Don't forget to pressure test the new welds to make sure there are no pin holes.

[@captiannemo1587]

They do this in previous videos

[@DonFarmer-hq5sw]

There is going to be some flex between those pontoons. Even small boat 🚤 wakes can generate twisting forces.

[@aMerricanAdventours]

Yep definitely should cap the pontoons separate from the hot tub, that's where the cracks will start

[@tonybosworth5382]

I have held off commenting, BUT(!!!) THERE IS ZERO SHEER STRENGTH BUILT INTO THIS BOAT! A hit on the front of one pontoon or a large wake is going to twist this beast to pieces!😢

[@jwalster9412]

​​@@tonybosworth5382 I play alot of racing games, and I've seen how much twisting does into steel, so seeing something this large and flat, made of all aluminum, all I can think about it this potentially just twisting and splitting the welds, not only that, but they plan to make this a project they can replicate and sell, which is a horrible idea for anything clearly untested, especially something going into water that can hold more than 5 people.

[@Alex-zi1nb]

Ya there's zero percent chance they can replicate this and sell it. The first one that breaks will bankrupt them and they'll have to sleep knowing they put people's lives in danger. You can't just become a boat manufacturer on a whim! He's put very little thought into this sadly

[@KennethHarrison-ou2ok]

I say keep this in the bay on the river or in a lake.... don.t want to see this on seconds from disaster... please have an engineer look at it. Torsional and angular moment stress in rough seas could lead to shear forces exceeding design limits, in rough seas pontoon boats can and do submarine (solid water over the bow) which will also sweep typical pontoon deck rails overboard with the passengers and furniture that's ripped off the deck. Let us know how your going to use this boat so we can stop worrying about your family and friends. Love your channel, I bought my Evora after seeing your fantastic build... This comes from a place of love bro !

[@wayneheaney6271]

If you mount the engines on the outer pontoons you would be able to use differential trust to greater effect. Would give a better radius just by reversing one engine

[@jeremyhales9091]

Maybe weld a cap on each pontoon at the hot tub before welding the edges, that is the weakest link of the whole project. Might want to put on a trailer soon too before adding the decking at least. Great work!

[@nathanluder1852]

Before permanently bolting the stringers to the pontoons, think about putting a gasket,sealant, or nylon paint in between the two metals to prevent galvanic corrosion. Also think about wet installing the bolts with sealant. Great build

[@Crewsy]

Why? The stringers and the pontoons are aluminum. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@nathanluder1852]

@@Crewsy It is just good practice. If the stringers are aluminum I guess it would be fretting corrosion that would take place from vibration or slip. The bolts on the the other hand are probably not aluminum so galvanic corrosion is a factor.

[@gregweseman6151]

I believe you should weld the cross bars to the pontoon mounting brackets. The bolts only give you one point of contact and can be ripped out easily. Run a bead of weld to each side of the square tubing to the mounting brackets, it will help spread out the stress point.

Cap the inner pontoons before welding them to the tub, check the clearance on the outboards relative to the outer pontoons, they might get in the way and make turning not so fun, so check that or at least give yourself the ability to move them outwards if needed. I'd also add a few more c channel bracing between each channel/beam there currently is.

I'm thinking they will have to use house moving dollies and beams under this thing to tow it to the water, and get some wide load permits and a low traffic schedule on a planned/approved route to execute the move. The boat ramp is going to try to flex it as it negotiates the change of pitch, as will other surface irregularities en route, and the moving dollies will need to be removed in the water and lifted out with a crane. Might have been cheaper to rent a space by the water and build it there. Also might be possible to get a pair of cranes there at the shop to lift it onto a flat-bed semi, with another pair of cranes at the marina to lower it in.
