These pontoon videos reminded me so much of my younger days. Boy Scouts building a 32 foot pontoon boat from steel drums and taking a two week trip up the Tennessee river and it's tributaries like the Little T and Hiwassee. Thank you. Good memories and your kids will remember this big time. Also when I was 17 I paddled the Swanee river for a week on a canoe trip and loved it. Good stuff!

I think your boy scout troop was a bit more adventurous than the one I was in. We did build a lot of cool stuff, towers and bridges. Our river trip was a 50 mile, 3 day and two night trip down the St. Marys river. I will remember that trip for the rest of my life. Would have been even cooler on a homemade 32 foot party barge. Maybe next summer I can do an extended trip down the Suwannee River hitting several spring on the way down. Thanks for your comment make me want to go boating again right now.

GREAT ! all 4 vids... just excellent ! ! I have 3 - 12"x12"x12ft long (all aluminum) pontoons... had 4, one got ripped off. So, I've had them for a while (5-6 yrs?). This has been my plan all along... to build a small pontoon boat for the bayous down here (New Orleans). I've got aluminum welding rods and a butane tourch. Just need some aluminum angle pieces to weld on so I'll have something to screw the deck to and i'm off ! I have an 8hp lawnmower (B&S) that's almost brand new... should get some speed with that (8 - 10 mph I hope).

One more thing I'd like to share with you. If you are ever looking for a cheap weedless prop for a homemade trolling motor you will find them in scrap whirlpool refrigerators in the ice maker unit . You will also find a good stainless steel rod holder. I worked in a plastic injection molding plant and the machines I worked on made parts for Whirlpool. Rip apart an old unit and put the propeller looking part on a weedeater and it has quite a bit of thrust . I suppose because the blades are built into a narrow cylinder. I made one once but only tried it in a large metal trash can and it emptied it in no time.

Just need to locate some plastic drums and find out the cost . I like the storage wells and a great place to sit when operating the motor , so not hunched over like I was when i had my aluminum boat. I may use 3/4 pressure treated wood for the decking . the points on the front of the pontoons would make great coolers ( water cooled ) Now you got me thinking :)

It’s amazing to see all that wildlife in such clear water. Here in Kansas ware I’m from you can’t see your hand in front of your face under water. Do you ever have any problems with gators in those waters?

Love that clear water! Never seen a gator there, but once saw half of a baby gator floating around. Must have happened during the night. Thanks for watching!!

That sure looks like Crystal River, Homosassa, or Weeki Wachee. I love manatees and cheap pontoons!

It was Fanning springs, I need to find other springs I can ride up into. Are the ones you mentioned open to boats? I love the manatee and the cheapness too. Thanks so much for watching.

It would be cool to see how you make that compartment watertight. Good video

After watching you other video I had this same idea and I was going to post but when I was looking for the video I saw this video so you beat me to it. I built a boat motor the same way 30 years ago.

Great job...maybe an exhaust extension tube or hose that can reach underwater for little more noise reduction .

You should add a propeller guard if you boat around Manatee's.

One thing about the spring, you would see them before you hit them. Plus as slow as my boat is, they would have a chance to move. Thanks for watching.

WS convinced that you just went to an aquarium, that place is too beautiful

I loved it, but now, every other body of water is going to look nasty... I am planning another river trip, but they won't let you take you boat very far up into the spring... Thanks for watching.

Brilliant love it I’ve got to make one of these boats you can have just as much fun with one of these compared to a £20000 boat well done larrysullivan in London
@richardlentner86196 жыл бұрын
Good job as always my only concern is that is somebody falls through the hole in the middle of the boat while in motion the engine/prop would chop them up, just a safety concern. love your videos...

Originally on the water diverters, you had talked about foaming, or bottles, etc. for buoyancy, then something that would matter if it got wet. What about life jacket storage? It serves all the above.
