Homemade PVC fishing boat made with 15-gallon barrels

[@justacat7579]

I would love to see a paddle boat version from thiss✨✨

[@supergokue1]

That sounds pretty cool, I'll see what I can do :)

[@samljer]

That is excellent, i feel like 1 more barrel longer and it would be flawless.

[@Leonardokite]

Next up..... a boat from 2 liter pop bottles and pvc pipe! Great ingenuity!! 👍

[@supergokue1]

It's funny you said that, I have always wanted to do a 2 liter bottle boat. Unfortunately, it would take me years to collect all of the bottles lol. Thank you for the great comment and the compliment :)

[@jamesdismukes133]

Saw a floating “island” with a “house” on it down in Mexico that was made out of plastic bottles.

All your boats look like fun.

[@supergokue1]

Thank you, I do have a blast with them :)

[@jhaesahoncox8889]

Wouldnt the 55 gallon barrels work better for this build for water displacement so that you could be higher above the water?

[@supergokue1]

Maybe, but for me it was also about portability. I had a small ford ranger and needed the pontoons to be small so I could transport them and also be able to drag the boat around on my own on land. Thank you for the great question :)

[@rec1952]

I love every one of your boat builds, I even bought plans at one time, early on. I never built it, due to pure laziness, nothing that you did. :) Might I ask, what is your most favorite out of ALL that you have built, the most fun, prettiest, fastest, what? Thank you for these, I wish that I had your energy.

[@supergokue1]

I have to say I have a couple of favorites, the first cooler boat that I made was a ton of fun. The second one would be the 5 gallon bucket boat, it took me a couple of years to figure out how to attach the buckets to the PVC. Then on day, it just popped up in my head. Thank you for the great question and the compliment :)

[@patricktoulze1274]

Great built - Are the PVC pipe 3 inches?

[@supergokue1]

I built that one out of 2 inch, thanks for the question.

[@gecildomagalhaes9260]

Genial,vou fazer um pra mim

[@brianazmy3156]

I'm trying to figure out a propulsion system using a cordless tool so as to cut weight. Good idea or no?

[@supergokue1]

It sounds like a good idea to me. I have watched videos of drill powered trolling motors; they seem to work really well. Thank you for the question.

[@gaylordsaulsberry336]

Any specification on tube lengths and couplers needed. Would 55 gallon barrels be better?

[@robertgolden8974]

Do you ever give a parts list for your builds or can we get them anywhere I would love to try one

[@supergokue1]

Unfortunately, I didn't do a parts list. When we moved over seas, I got rid of all my notes. Sorry I could not help.

[@davidguimaraesgto]

Tente adaptar a direção para guiar na sua frente, evitando o desconforto de ficar com os braços para traz podendo observar mais a sua direção.

[@supergokue1]

Great point, this boat is going to get a few updates and the steering is one of them. It was difficult to steer with this set up. Thank you very for the suggestion, I do appreciate it.

[@DevOpsNerd]

What size screws are you using for the PVC?

[@supergokue1]

I like to use 1/4''-20 bolts for my boat projects. Thank you for the great question.

[@tamtamtamatim.4860]

Cool🇱🇧🇺🇸❤️

[@supergokue1]

Thank you!

[@tamtamtamatim.4860]

You very welcome ❤️

[@AltonMiller23]

Do you have printable plans and material list for your boats?

[@supergokue1]

Unfortunately, I do not have any parts list for my boats. Sorry I am not able to help.

[@jasonprice1871]

Yeah where do you find all the barrels I would love to build one but I cannot find those barrels

[@jon_espi10]

Why did you bend it inwards when you we're building it?

[@supergokue1]

Great question, I was trying to get a 1950's car fender look. After I did it, I realized it didn't allow the seat to move. The seat moving is super important to me, so I had to ditch that design. Thank you again for the question. :)

[@jon_espi10]

@@supergokue1 makes sense now! Im trying to make a boat heavily inspired by this one. Im using 2 inch PVC and 4 5 gallon water bottles, hopefully all goes well

[@patrickthenomad]

Lithium ion or lifepo4

[@supergokue1]

They are Eco-worthy LiFeP04 batteries, thanks for the question.
