Great idea. I think the heavy wood did a lot to compromise your flotation. You can build it with just pvc pipes. If you use four pipes instead of two, two people could fish from that with ease.Also, using four of the pipes would eliminate the need for the angle pieces and the front caps, as the pvc pipes could be v-cut and then heated and shaped into modified cones, such as what you see on many pontoons. I couldn't have done better on a first attempt, so good job there.

@steveallen9846 жыл бұрын
chud327 Having the angles on the front is a must. The back could be cut flat or "pointed". Without that upward angle the pontoon could plow down under if you were to hit a high boat wake. It's a little far from wave ready but we all start out in steps. But the front pontoons must angle up enough as to never wind up under water then your a moving downward torpedo for a second and water WILL rise up quick between your legs lol along with anything in front of you on deck with it? Then there goes the Budweiser!

Perfect for where I live. (Bayport, Florida) The Gulf of Mexico drops only one foot in depth for every mile. 2 Miles out, you're only in 2 feet of water. The big expensive boats have to travel between channel markers for 2 miles before they can even make a turn. This simple design, you boat when you want to. You don't have insurance or maintenance costs. You don't feel obligated to take the boat out because you pay for it whether you use it or not. Just a great all around, fantastic idea. If I used this once out on the Gulf, 5 people would ask me where I bought it. Great Job!!

Why did you fill it up with foam? Air is lighter than foam, so you just make it heavier by adding foam inside the pvc... Is there some other reason?

@dalemaloney2555 жыл бұрын
keeps the water out! air floats! foam has air in it. when they fill with water, they sink! people are using large pop bottles. they weigh less, cost nothing, fill with foam, best yet! light weight, tuff when filled with foam.

@six6tysix6 жыл бұрын
Only way to increase the floatation (buoyancy) is to displace more water below the surface. In order to achieve this you'd have to add more toons, increase the length of them, or swap them out for a larger diameter pipe
@Strange-Viking6 жыл бұрын
six6tysix yup. Positive buoyancy is also improved by flatness. Theoretically if you would roll out the pipe so it becomes flat there is more upwards pressure, allot of pressure is getting lost now due to a bit pressing on the sides and up instead of only up. For the very same reason stability would be increased. Though considering working with the materials at hand, swapping the smaller pvc for same size would be allot better. Placing just a 50cm long pipe on either side as outrigger will increase stability allot allot. That at or slightly behind the seat to keep manouvrability. That or a very shallow keel. The latter does not provide positive buoyance though.

+Brandon Livingston . I think you mean "nastiness " But if you stop washing your shitty boxer shorts in that river it wouldn't be so nasty. As already commented the water is stained with tannin and doesn't affect the quality of the water. You get the same colour from high deposits of iron ore where it occurs naturally. I'm amazed at the lack of education shown in these comments. But like they say small things amuse small minds.
@sophisticatedfunk63176 жыл бұрын
+chud327 . I wouldn't even bother explaining the score to these cretins. Most countries in the world will have rivers or lakes stained with Tannin from peat or from iron ore deposits, in fact all kinds of colours can occur from various minerals. You can see the water is stained but clear, it's not muddy and like you said it's totally harmless to man and the aquatic enviroment. I'd happily swim and fish that river.
