These pontoon videos reminded me so much of my younger days. Boy Scouts building a 32 foot pontoon boat from steel drums and taking a two week trip up the Tennessee river and it's tributaries like the Little T and Hiwassee. Thank you. Good memories and your kids will remember this big time. Also when I was 17 I paddled the Swanee river for a week on a canoe trip and loved it. Good stuff!

I think your boy scout troop was a bit more adventurous than the one I was in. We did build a lot of cool stuff, towers and bridges. Our river trip was a 50 mile, 3 day and two night trip down the St. Marys river. I will remember that trip for the rest of my life. Would have been even cooler on a homemade 32 foot party barge. Maybe next summer I can do an extended trip down the Suwannee River hitting several spring on the way down. Thanks for your comment make me want to go boating again right now.

That would be cool, it holds a pretty good bit of people. I almost went back there today, but I had an issue with the trailer. I hope to go sometime soon, I will make you a video. I also put a sealer on the deck today, that video will be coming out soon.

Thsts pretty cool for the springs or scalloping. The kids have a good platform to swim back to when they need a break.

Well done. I grew up in Vero Beach. We had a canal behind our house. My Brother, and I where always building boats? Well, things that float. This bought back fond memories of growing up there. I have not heard a outboard called a kicker since I left. Keep up the good work.

GREAT ! all 4 vids... just excellent ! ! I have 3 - 12"x12"x12ft long (all aluminum) pontoons... had 4, one got ripped off. So, I've had them for a while (5-6 yrs?). This has been my plan all along... to build a small pontoon boat for the bayous down here (New Orleans). I've got aluminum welding rods and a butane tourch. Just need some aluminum angle pieces to weld on so I'll have something to screw the deck to and i'm off ! I have an 8hp lawnmower (B&S) that's almost brand new... should get some speed with that (8 - 10 mph I hope). Dude, you've been an inspiration, the kids look like they enjoy it and I really enjoyed the centerped and your daughter petting the butterfly along with the underwater shots. Just excellent.

One more thing I'd like to share with you. If you are ever looking for a cheap weedless prop for a homemade trolling motor you will find them in scrap whirlpool refrigerators in the ice maker unit . You will also find a good stainless steel rod holder. I worked in a plastic injection molding plant and the machines I worked on made parts for Whirlpool. Rip apart an old unit and put the propeller looking part on a weedeater and it has quite a bit of thrust . I suppose because the blades are built into a narrow cylinder. I made one once but only tried it in a large metal trash can and it emptied it in no time.
