DIY Plywood Catamaran Maiden Voyage

First trip in DIY catamaran, designed to tow behind a boat for extra storage but can be used for short trips, especially easy to beach launch and recover, still needs some modifications, mainly weight saving on the bridge. Engine was a 3.5 hp Mariner. Top speed was 7 knots with just me onboard.

You could rig a sail to it. Nice work.

Great project ...the guys on the beach should have done the filming ...... would have showcased your little cat much better.

I’m building a catamaran style little trolling motor boat flat deck to get me to some of my fishing spots hv to cross ship chanbers etc. since my 21ft got stolen. As I am saving for a down payment. I made it kinda cool looking. It has a hydraplane racing boat front sponson angles inward 11” only for paddling if I had to abs angles outwards towards the back being bigger as to carry the load, and little John boat extra floaters, making a small 4’ long 10” wide at base angles outwards for sides for storage cut in 1 door on each one abs a marine cab and marine stereo w/speakers then I will build a 25 gallon bait tank to go onboard water inlet on bottom at rear of pontoon and outlet to dump or drain behind sponson foil. Made mine from a bd cardboard form and then fiberglassed 3 layers of 6% glass following up with one layer of 1708 biaxial glass, then fairing putty, and two coats of gel coat, To finish off. How did you get your pontoons so smooth? Did you fiberglass them? If so how many layers of what did you use abs gel coat or paint any fairring putty? Thanks

Должна быть защита от падения пассажира вперёд, между поплавками, велика опасность попасть под винт
