I'm and my buddy is we have taken it out on very windy days - with white caps - way to much gear and had no problem. It is nice because when you gotta take a leak there is no problem.

To bad your not in Texas! GuestMar 23, I believe you still have an overturn build a pontoon boat with pvc lighting. One ten foot length of 10" I believe thats outside dia. Plenty, until you stand on the side and begin to hoist a net load of squirming fish. Keep in mind that on a pontoon boat your weight will be shifting around above the center of bouyancy, and out near the side you can generate a pretty strong moment arm.

As your weight moves soley onto one pontoon, the other may lift out of the water, putting the entire load on one pontoon, which may sink, and over you go. Pontoon boats only work well if there is gads of reserve bouyancy, or you don't plan on shifting your weight. If you are a heavy set person, catch a load of fish or catch an unfavorable wave at the wrong moment, you could easily roll a boat as narrow as you've described.

You might consider a hybrid, build a punt and mount the tubes high on the outside. When you move to the side of the craft build a pontoon boat with pvc lighting haul your net you will have that s of reserve bouyancy stabilizing the craft. With your weight acting below it, it will still be a righting moment instead of an overturning one. With such a configuration it might just be impossible to roll with just your body weight no matter where you stand or what you're doing.

The punts really are easy to put together and if you design the sides high enough and mount the tubes outside the gunnels then they could fit above the wheel wells of your pickup when the build a pontoon boat with pvc lighting is loaded in the bed. The pontoons will be out of the water under most conditions so the only detriment will be windage, and eek Be sure to leave a few inches of freeboard above the pontoons.

Keep in mind I'm just a civil engineer and not a naval architect. I've obtained some 55 gal plastic drums and am also trying to build a pontoon boat. Wondering if the use build a pontoon boat with pvc lighting PVC pipe for the frame is possible? Also wondering how to calc the build a pontoon boat with pvc lighting capacity of each drum.

This is going to be an offshore gold dredge so it has to be stout! Would appreciate any help! As you are in Alaska I also assume you prefer Imperial units not metric. So I would suggest you do your calculations in feet. One cubic foot of fresh water weighs The answer is about 0.

The buoyancy per foot of length in fresh water is 0. Mike DApr 4, Thanks Mike! Useful Info. Barrels for a Pontoon Boat I too am about to build a pontoon boat out of plastic barrels. I need your comments and suggestions as there aren't many plans out on build a pontoon boat with pvc lighting web.

I have 6 50 gallon plastic barrels. My thought is to use electrical conduit bent into a half circle to surround the barrels as they sit in the water. I'm thinking 2 per barrel ought to do it. Across the top, I want to use 2" conduit for cross braces. Here's another thought - your comments welcome - I'm wanting to use thin guage metal roofing along the sides of the barrels to streamline water flow and to improve the looks.

If I do this, I'm not concerned about waterproofing the cover. The barrels will provide the flotation. My thought is that the smooth straight edge of the metal roofing cover will improve my flow through the water.

Any thoughts? Any drawings out there? Is this for a raft or are you planning on putting a motor on it. Around here it is common to use plastic barrels for floating docks. Usually you build a frame from treated lumber; the frame is gapped so it straddles the barrels.

The barrels are held in place by plastic banding. Then some type of decking usually cedar is applied to the frame. This works great for docks; I could not advise using it for a pontoon with a motor on it. Electrical conduit is very weak stuff, even "rigid" is not very strong. EMT is much better strength wise, but a rather poor choice in building material as the marine environment will eat it up in no time. Why must you vary the ways laid down by well experienced and educated folks whom do this sort of thing for a living?

Pontoon boats are cheap. Finding one that needs a deck or engine can be very cheap. The engineering is done for you and you only have to fix it, which is quite the difference than designing it. If build a pontoon boat with pvc lighting is a floating platform, then pick up a copy of the currently available Woodenboat magazine April and look at pages 28 - The thinking is done, just build and you can use your drums.

PARMar 24, This is for BHudson. Pontoon Hallo Everyone. Sorry for my bad english, but I have to write. I'm also into building a pontoon. I want a small one to have when I'll go fishing. I'm planning to make the pontoons with stich and glue Epoxywith thin playwood. I'm thinking on attaching oars just like the imagelink.

MartenJun 5, I have just recently received a large quantity of aluminum from a sheet build a pontoon boat with pvc lighting fabrication company that went out of business.

I would like to build a build a pontoon boat with pvc lighting pontoon to fish from, and it seems from my calcs the sheet aluminum that I have is quite a bit heavier than what is used in other pontoons boats that are built.

Along with this it will not carry as much weight as I would need. The sheets of alum that I have are 48x48x 0. I have found a good fabricator that can make them round. Thanks for any responses. BOBJun 8, Hi all, Does anyone have any links to buy actual pontoon aluminum floats? Like the original pontoon parts at good prices? I built a 4 x 8 pontoon I have built this "contraption" as some would call it.

For flotation i used something as light and as bouyant as possible. I cut 4 full sheets of foam 16 inches wide and got 12 pieces. I then used carriage bolts to squeeze the nex-wood, foam, and plywood. I used an electric chainsaw to slightly round the edges and to form the front of the pontoon. I smoothed it all out with a belt sander. It is kind of in that order but. Next step was paint I use a foot controlled trolling motor and a big deep-cycle battery.

I cut a "sporty" tunnel hull looking front end on it and attached 2 oars to the edge of the plywood. I have had it out twice now on the mississippi river and it does fine. The boat without the battery and motor and seats is literally no more build a pontoon boat with pvc lighting than just the original plywood. I would say less than lbs and can get most likely over lbs before the deck hits water.

But unless you are a drunken fool it wouldnt have to carry that much weight.
