Installing Brand New Fencing on a Party Pontoon Boat - Episode 6

[@blackhat4968]

[19:50] I would suggest putting something on the outside of the gates (a stop plate of some sort) to prevent someone from opening them outward and buggering up your hinge. All it would take is a kid (or someone who had a bit to much to drink) forgetting and pushing outward and your gate will be screwed up.

[@k.beeler4240]

It's your build, you can do it any way you want. If it was mine, I would've left a center gate in front. It will be easier to access the front for docking and loading after a few adult beverages. LOL! You built double steps on the front of your trailer for accessing the front of the boat.... Maybe I missed something. The new style fencing and seating will look great!

[@blackhat4968]

I was wondering the same thing. I know the fence is not high, maybe they are supposed to just step over it in the front and step on to the seats, But I guess normally you wont be loading or unloading people while the boat is on the trailer.

[@guyod1]

@@blackhat4968 some boats will have removable seat for front door. I dont see the point of seat in front. No one wants to sit backwards moving

[@benbellino3596]

@@guyod1 sometimes ya do. New pontoon boats often have rear facing reclining style loungers. They are quite nice

I hope he uses the space on each side of the very front seat for something. Seems like wasted space right now.

It made me chuckle when you said “this looks really modern”. It’s actually an old design called “Art Deco” which is sort of timeless classic in the design world. Great content, always well presented. Kudos Zac 🇬🇧🇺🇸🙏😎

[@ricciodrake]

Nice progress, the boat is looking good.

[@truckdriver2684]

Looks good. But I probably would have painted the pontoons all black now that I seen it with the fencing. Good job on the build.

[@jasonbanks5664]

Looks amazing. You're doing great work. When I did my boat I drilled holes in the bottom of the cup holder area, attached clear tubing and ran it out of the boat to get rid of the water. Might want to consider that.

[@mwilliamshs]

The stiffer the tubing the better and i pour a little bleach down mine occasionally. Good to mount the tail end where it's accessible to clear out dirt dobber nests and the like

[@benbellino3596]

I agree, I wasn’t a fan of those spacers underneath the fencing-the gap looked weird to me

[@mwilliamshs]

@@benbellino3596 what are you talking about?

[@benbellino3596]

@@mwilliamshs 21:03 He talks about the spacers. He says he put them there so water doesn’t get trapped... but no new pontoon boats today need that. The fencing is always flush with the floor.

[@Patriot-up2td]

That’s called a “Radiused” front end. Looks great!

[@robertpeterson4422]

You should underlight the seats and bar with LEDs!! Looks like there’s a perfect lip under the seat boxes. Cheap and creates an awesome atmosphere. Perfect for the “Party Pontoon”

[@thadioushorowitz4210]

This is a great build. I agree there should be a front gate opening with curved seats on the sides, but we all see things differently. The only thing that detracts is the surface finish of the two outboard pontoons. I would see that everytime I walk up to it. I dont know what I would do to remedy it though. Maybe rhino line the tops with silver liner or heavy anti foul paint. I would have to look into something though.

[@bobschinedeirt8458]

Make a live edge bar. That would look sick

[@brianwilson9633]

I had the same ladder on my pontoon and my friends brought his 430lbs friend with him and he used it to get in my boat and it held him and worked like a champ

[@kbrowncny1]

Awesome design! I know you are sponsored by pontoon stuff but I am interested to know how much something like this would cost normally and how much of a cost savings you would get versus buying a new boat with similar features. Would be interested to see a price reveal at the end. Although a new boat definitely wont have the Zac touch.

[@RelaxedEZ223]

The first time you have to crawl over the seats to get in the boat or to anchor from the bow. You'll see in time. It looks awesome.

[@peterpierce6228]

you should install some "New Corner Bumper" ! with all the new fencing and trim.

[@Bhix]

It looks great, but I’m confused. Why have ladders on the front, and no way to get into the boat from them? I’m sure I’m missing something.

[@401Impala]

the ladders are mounted to the trailer. If you need to get into the boat while it's on the trailer you can probably just step over the fence.

[@chuckyost6973]

What you have called "trim" or "railing" is actually the "rub rail" according to pontoon nomenclature found in references and catalogs. I had a heck of a time finding it to order until found the "proper" name for it! Also, the rubber part in some of them is called "rub rail insert."

Any concern with your seats forward? Possible chop spray over the bow under an engine load. Wet crew is unhappy crew. Love your work Zack. Keep creating.

[@kevinbyrd4460]

I was thinking same thing ,gonna be a lot of weight up front

[@cap2c484]

Did I get this correct that you don't have a gate in the front? I honestly couldn't get by without my front gate. Docking, anchoring, etc. I wouldn't be without access to the front.

[@mwilliamshs]

I step over mine more often than I bother to open them

[@tylerscott9329]

Yeah it just seems like it would make it a pain to get on from the front and then you also have the seating to step over. Makes the nice steps on the front of the trailer almost pointless. Love the build though! Looks nice.

[@TheRealChetManley]

Yeah thought the same thing...need access to the front

[@fivestarclubrentals]

Yep always side entry for us, I put extra seating in front of gate.

[@jaseb3816]

he also has 2 stairs in the front? so it really makes no sense not to have a front gat

[@freddynews6478]

Get some black vinyl tape and insert in the middle of your aluminum rub rail. It’ll tie into your fencing

[@jamesrenz3779]

I am rebuilding my pontoon and I am trying to order the fencing/railing from Pontoon Stuff. I need to know the width of the aluminum tubing, is it 1" or 1.25"? Does anyone know?

Looks amazing!

[@bobbyvanderwerff5879]

Looks great.

[@djpat5998]

That was a big ass spider.

[@bluefront7120]

if you don't secure the front seat you can keep it modular and have access to the front door when desired. My Harris was the same way.

[@BestFunnyYtClipss]

should look into ceramic coating the fence so it stays nice and shiny

[@mikemcintyre9494]

Just a suggestion, put a gate on the front my guy, I bet you pull up on sandbar and beaches more than docks... Maybe make that front seat removable and leave that gate behind it, just in case? Call it rather have it, and not use it, than not have it and then the hassle of trying to retro fit it... Just my 2¢worth, but the art deco and colour is on point!

If you're adding things to your steering helm, how about adding a space to plug in your phone? Both to charge and use for what ever other apps you want to use.

[@marcwhicher5242]

Damn right that’s gonna look like a $60,000 boat. Beautiful!!! But please tell me what did you pay just for the fencing. I know I can call and find out but I’m not ready to buy yet but I’m curious how much. Thank you in advance

[@jim5k]

Each boat project gets better and better, turning into a real pro! Gonna be hard not to sell this one.

[@nathanielnewsome6699]

Looks good but u should have put a access door at the front because without a front door ladders on the trailer are pointless

[@riverakers]

Not having a front gate is going to limit your accessibility in many ways. Not only for launching and returning,but for beach access if you decide to beach.Corner radius seats would be a better choice, but that is just my opinion. Good work!

[@danahead3259]

Stepping over fencing is very easy, unless you are under 4’ tall, in which case, shouldn’t be climbing over!

[@ballin8098]

So sweet keep it up just started following you and w@tchjng like your style man

[@jeffreynerdin3522]

Doesn’t the fencing effectively shorten the boat because it doesn’t go to each end of the platform? It seems to cut off 3-4 feet of useable space on the deck. Why not extend the fence a couple feet on each end so you maximize the space?

[@GETGRIP]

my thought exactly

[@jlaw5462]

I've seen some guys mount bass type chairs out there...that might be cool and make the space usable...

[@GETGRIP]

@@jlaw5462 it just looks dumb with floor space outside of the fence. no matter what you put there it will still look trash, extend the fence is the only thing to do in my eyes
