[@micah-hooka7275]

You should be very proud of your project. I’ve always wanted a pontoon boat to go out here in the upper Chesapeake bay to do some rock fishing and July 4th fireworks over the water. A pontoon, or any boat was just out of our budget. Now our only daughter is graduating and heading off to the US Air Force. Seeing your video, I feel that I should have done more to make a more memorable childhood for her. We do have a small 19ft camper. We bought it years ago when my wife and I were married just a few years. It’s lasted us to this day 18 years later with a few roof patches and a floor replaced in the bathroom. I wish they made them to last longer. If we ever have the money to buy another newer one you can bet I’ll build a lean-to against my shed to keep it out of the weather from rotting it . Enjoy your time with your little girls. They will be grown before you know it👍🏻😊

[@chud327]

Well said and yes they grow so fast. thanks for watching.

[@darrelljacobjr2120]

Look on KZbin, there are plenty of videos showing how to build your own camper from scratch. You are right when you say they only build them to last a certain time, you'd be appalled if you tore one apart and realized just how cheaply they are made, both to cut production costs and also to prevent them from lasting too long. If you build it yourself, not only can you do it on the cheap, You are the quality-control department.

[@micah-hooka7275]

Darrell Jacob JR , I could buy a utility trailer which is made of mostly aluminum and use my current camper’s inverter, toilet, shower and tanks. I just don’t have the time. My garage only holds two vehicles. My pickup hardly fits in the bay. So the key is keeping them dry and the roof covered and dry pavement or concrete to store them. Like I said, I’ll build a simple lean-to against my small barn and spread hot mix and roll it. If it still takes of too much rain, I’ll run corrugated walls half way down on the rear and sides. That should give it an extra 10-15 years of life. Plus all the newer ones are made of aluminum studs and the one I want has a one piece curved fiberglass roof. Those rubber roofs that’s on mine and most last wooden framed campers are genuine throw-aways once they start to sponge up in the particle board flooring. If I was rich, I’d buy my wife a small 20ft airstream and never worry about major maintenance again. I have a rheumatic muscle skeletal disease that has made my hands and knees pretty much useless for work. Or at least the way I used to love to put in a daylight to dark day of work. Now it hurts just to mow and keep my little place looking presentable. I’m 42 and I see my buddies who keep getting it like they are still 22. Well, enough self pity talk. I’m glad you are smart enough to know about the budget RV camper trailer industry. It’s not really fair to folks who think they’ll have their hotel on wheels for a lifetime. Just like the pickup trucks. I have one that isn’t new but isn’t an antique either and I’ve had to hide rust spots for years now. A new truck costs $50,000. And rusts before it’s paid for. It’s sad. I wash all the salt off my truck after every snowstorm. Nothing helps. That road salt and thin, untreated inner fenders and panels are the cause. The big 3 pickup makers are laughing all the way to the bank at hard working men. Thanks for the chat👍🏻

And put some balist up front in the form of a live well in the center up front.water can be pumped in by pressure of a simple tube turned forward and plumbed into the live well tank. It can have at least two holes two let out the extra water.it can be a old cooler mounted underneath and the lid can be the floor if framed correctly

[@adamguymon7096]

What would be cool is to go out in the middle of the lake and anchor and spend the night on the water. What would really be cool is to build a pontoon houseboat with the ability to have a restroom and a lower area to sit under the water with a total glass-bottom below the main deck.? There would be an enclosed cabin and an upper deck. There would be the lower underwater observatory, main deck with the front part with an enclosed cabin with a steering wheel with a full bathroom and stove sink and beds. Above this would be an upper deck. It would be nice to see something like this so you could go out and spend a few days but finding a way to build it cheaply and not too big?

Now you need a 3-axis gimbal and a Nikon Coolpix P900 (maybe used off eBay) so you can Really zoom in on other boats and scenery. Not a boat/water guy myself, although i design/build underwater ROV's...could you put 2 sideshaft engines up front, with a universal joint then a long driveshaft leading back/downwards at a slant to the props at the rear? More like one of those skinny boats you see in the tropics, but with the engines mounted solid. I'm worried that the unlubricated gears in the lower units of your rebuilt boat motors will frag after time. Use rudders behind the props for steering. Put the engines in engine compartments sunk into the deck, with the exhaust fed into car mufflers to quiet them down. Just ideas to ponder. Great work!

[@chud327]

I already have the P900 and a gimbal would be nice. I like you motor ideas too... thanks for watching.

In Florida, if the boat is less than 16 feet, there is no inspection. I went to the DMV and filled out 2 forms and waited about 30 minutes for them to figure it out. $32.25 later, it was registered. Thanks for watching.

@@chud327 Did you have to bring any kind of paper works to the DMV? for instance like receipts of materials bought for the build, ect. .and do you have to permanently rivet the VIN tag of any kind on the vessel or is it only the FL# is required? Kinda like for a home-built automobile.

@@chud327 yeah you're welcome

[@jamesbaskins6351]

Trying not to be negative but I would have been more serious about making it lighter and more durable.wood is expensive and heavy easy to assemble.iI Wonder if you could have put some type of plastic sheeting around the barrels to make them smooth and put a bigger engine on it.just for effects of better fuel economy. Those barrels are big enough to make one into a live well and cut one for storage

[@chud327]

I went with wood for accessibility, but lighter would be cool. Also smoothing out the barrels and a bigger engine would be cool. Thanks for watching.

When building those diverters up front why not use a chalk line to make your lines to cut the barrels by?

I hope you have the air filters on the engine's. I saw footage of the engine's without. I shouldn't have to remind you that over time you will ruin the engine's if the filters are not on during long running time's. Also rain will get into the fuel and engine and shut you down. Do you have the required fire extinguisher and all other Coast Guard required safety items on board ? You probably will be stopped for a safety check one day. I love the build and the way you made the engine's too. I live in NW Florida myself but have no boat. I sold my party barge years ago. Why did you pressurize the barrels? How did you do that ?

[@chud327]

If the barrels aren't pressurized they will collapse when I go in the cold springs. Air filters are not a real big deal on the water, there isn't much dust out there. I do need to cover it in the rain, but haven't been the last few years, some day I may regret that... I am not required to have a fire extinguisher, but it wouldn't be a bad idea. I have all the other required equipment. Thanks for watching.

How did you pressurize the barrels again? Don't you want to seam between the barrels for hydrodynamics? (don't need to be water tight). If you make it smooth, a small electric DC motor, car battery and solar panels should do the trick

by closing them in the cold i believe.

[@josephmilnes8957]

Can anyone tell me approx speed, or how to calculate something like this with (2) 212cc harbor freight mud skipper motors. I usually get around 10hp from them or 20hp total. I'm thinking about a similar build, but using 3 full barrels on each side. Figure about 10 ft pontoon or so. Ideally I'd like to get 10-15 mph from 20hp, but not sure if that's feasible

On making the diverters

[@chud327]

Once I cut the barrel diagonally, I leaned the barrel where the cut was level. Then I measure from the barrel behind it, that was about 18 inches. Should be about the same for most 55 gallon drums. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.

Those diverters look complicated

[@chud327]

They are a little tricky. I tell people to get a couple extra barrels, just in case. Thanks for watching.

[@chud327]

Wow, thanks for asking, it is out in the garage. I can try to make you a video tomorrow. Thanks for watching.

chud327 Also do you remember me when I first commented on one of your videos

[@chud327]

Yes

chud327 where is the big outboard?

[@chud327]

If you are talking about the homemade 12.5 horse, I messed up the propeller shaft, the 25 horse Evenrude was sold, and the 28 horse Johnson need to be fire up and tuned up... Hopefully that will happen soon and thanks for watching.
