[@chud327]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching. As usual, I had to get this out of the trash.

[@krakenking1597]

Cool video! It gives me hope to afford a boat one day.

[@chud327]

IKR, boat are expensive. thanks for watching.

[@wryanddry2266]

5:58 You're losing some HP from your stirrup dragging in the water. Would it be as good if you reinstall it rotated 90 degrees? That would reduce the drag a lot. Or raise it up out of the water?

[@chud327]

Yeah, I think when I designed it, I thought it would be up out of the water. thanks for watching.

[@justcausecatfishing9278]

Thanks to you I think I found my next project. How would you go about taging and title for a homemade pontoon

[@chud327]

I am so glad to hear it... Please consider joining my facebook group "Homemade Barrel Boats" . As for a title and registration, I went to the DMV and said homemade boat. It took about 30 minutes and about $32, but was a piece of cake. Thanks so much for watching.

[@mtdracer69]

Nice I have always wanted a speed boat! I just got me a 14hp vanguard v twin off Craigslist for 200 bucks plus a pile of other goodies he gave me!

[@chud327]

I speed boat would be nice, I want one too... VTwin? I am jealous! Thanks for watching.

[@matthiasholstein2442]

Great video. Too bad that you and your family are not here in Germany. That would be awesome.

[@chud327]

That would be awesome and thanks so much for watching.

[@Paulman50]

The last owner had the tell tail to the front of the motor because he was possibly running it in weeds. You may have to flush the cooling system out to get it running cool.

[@chud327]

That is a good idea, I think I got it running cool now, but may still want to flush it out. thanks for watching.

[@borfishing7690]

You have to get a speedometer app on your phone and tell us how fast that beast goes. 👍🏼

[@chud327]

Downloaded one on the way to the river, but the motor wanted to overheat so I did run it long. As so as I get it to run cool, we will get that speed for you. Thanks so much for watching.

[@nodaktinker9496]

I absolutely love what you do! I've even started my own pontoon 😁 I've wanted to build my own for years and your videos have motivated me to just go for it. I do have a channel of my own if you're interested in checking it out. Sorry my first 6 videos are without any editing software ☹️ but I'm getting there. I'm interested in any feedback you can give. Also have you ever considered different controls for your motors? Just so you don't have to sit on the floor. I've seen a few modifications of people doing diy foot controls. Once again I love your content keep it up man👍

[@chud327]

I checked out your boat and left some advice. Thanks for watching mine and keep us up to date on your build.

[@leemcminn4978]

I just found your KZbin site and I love the 55 gallon drum pontoon you made. I have a question. The original gas motor you had on that pontoon. Was it made from a lawn mower motor or another motor like a lawn mower engine? I ask because I saw another person's KZbin page where he tool a broken 8 HP outboard motor and replaced the engine that was no longer working with a lawn mower engine had had fixed. His mounting of the engine to the outboard motor footing as quite crude and yours looks much better. If this was a rebuilt engine, to you have any video of how you rebuilt the engine? Awesome job on the boat. I hope to be able to build something similar in the near future.

[@chud327]

I built one out of a pressure washer and one out of a mower... Thanks so much and thanks for watching.

[@pandagromer9324]

Cant wait to see how fast it is know need to do some fishing on that boat lol

[@chud327]

I was much better and yes on the fishing. Thanks!

[@docink6175]

I picked up red, green and blue nite ize led glowsticks at home depot on atl n girvin for around $5ea, make a 360 white light from a small flash light and half gal milk jug on a pole or walmart has a 2 Pack Portable Outdoor LED Lantern under 9bucks

[@chud327]

Those sound cool, I want lights on my boat next. Thanks for watching.

[@RockeyDAproductions]

i miss swimming, only place round me is a spring, witch is about 45F year round.

[@chud327]

Dang, I would know how to swim if I were your neighbor. Our springs are 72 year around and people around here call that freezing. Thanks so much for watching.

[@bradystechandgaming8923]

hiiiiiiiiiiiiii i love you vids they are awesome

[@chud327]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching.

[@MrMd5555]

If more kids grew up like this these days we wouldn't have half of the useless college grads coming out of college knowing nothing about life thinking the world owes them something.

[@chud327]

Amen to that! Thanks so much and thanks for watching.

[@iamthecritter]

How fast did it go? I had more issues my last time out.

[@chud327]

Mine was trying to run hot, but I think I got that fixed. The motor mount boards were digging in like parachutes, felt like it wanted to get up on plane, but couldn't. I need some kind of angle under there to keep it from catching / dragging in the water. Maybe next weekend I can do a real speed check. Thanks for watching.

[@iamthecritter]

@@chud327 if you put an extra barrel in the middle and make a cone like the front two....could you do a video on how to make the front cones....I have watched your other video on that but I just dont get how to do it.

[@iamthecritter]

@@chud327 I got 4 barrels on the side of the house...we could destroy a couple for nose cones

[@chud327]

Not a problem, I can help you chop them right up!

[@PaulieDetmurds]

It moves really good! We're gonna Rock Out! Jesus is King Brother!

[@krakenking1597]

Represent!

[@chud327]

Amen to every thing you just said. thanks for watching.

[@chud327]

Thanks and yes!

[@MagnusDominus1]

How fast did it go?

[@chud327]

I was about to get up on plane, but the kicker mount was acting like a parachute... Then the motor was trying to run hot, so I didn't really get a great test done. I think I have the overheating fixed and will try to get in the water again soon. Thanks so much for watching.

[@MagnusDominus1]

@@chud327 I love your videos. I am just south of you. I may see if in the future you would like to hook up. I am in the Palatka area.

[@chud327]

Yeah, that may work and thanks for the reply.

[@zacharygromak1910]

[@chud327]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching.
