For a first time boat builder, you're doing an excellent job. Remember brother, for a guy like you there's no such thing as a mistake, they're only a learning experience.

Grandpa the Grey Learning experience? I"m curios why he didn't learn that a 2" X 4" width is 1-1/2" and it's length on edge is 3-1/2". So when he nailed a 3-1/2" nail into a 3-1/2" board it only grabbed the amount he counter sunk that nail. How did he not learn why it wobbled was because it didn't sink in 2"? I didn't see or hear anything about the board being ripped down thinner and I'm pretty sure I heard him say he's using a 3-1/2" nail on a 2X4.? Did I miss something?

If you ever unstrap the barrels, the only suggestion (tweak) I would offer is to set them with the bung holes horizontal to the waterline. Unless well loaded they remain out of the water. If you load below half barrel, the barrels will partially pressurize thus help to keep any seepage out. Great project.

You may want to put some sort of cone or wedge on one end of the pontoons to cut through the water better. Might help with navigation.

i started building one, framed a 6x12 platform today. i should have the barrels next week. i plan on some cool stow and go storage in the floor and more cool stuff like shade canopy and possibly aluminum rails, maybe a small ferry barge at the front for transporting dirtbikes or quads to islands!

@watahyahknow7 жыл бұрын
seen on one build that the temperature changes make the air in the barrels contract and expand , think it will help if you drill a tiny 2 mm hole in each cap to alow for this , make the hole small enough so air can go in and out but water can't , hole needs to be on the top when you strap the barrels under the deck offcourse the labels will desolve pretty fast once there soaking in the water

@leolion16888 жыл бұрын
If you look back and read these, here is a suggestion,, if you can find a place that uses spray foam or similar product, have them spray the stuff into the barrels, which will set it a bit higher in the water and if water does get into the barrels you should not sink.
@sup3rbird7 жыл бұрын
It will ride lower with foam because foam is heavier than air.
@CoGhostRider7 жыл бұрын
+Harry Irvine s lot of people think foam foam better than air. Although closed cell foam would be a great addition just in case of barrel punctures but it will increase displacement a little.

Good ole modern lumber that you buy warped like that. :( btw, where did you get the barrels from and how much? Good job and mega fun I bet. Oh, and wouldn't it have been better to have those straps in the barrel grooves then nothing would move for sure unless a strap came loose or stretched which isn't going to happen?
@thomasritter31594 жыл бұрын
If you run into trouble with the drums collapsing you might try to pick up some cheap valve stems from the auto parts store and use a 12-volt air compressor to put about 10 lb of pressure in each drum. Be sure of course to locate the valve stem on the drum on the upper side. 10 lb of pressure will be plenty enough to keep the drums from collapsing when the temperature change.

Remember if you can measure how many gallon of water fit in a barrel.or pc pipe ..just multiply the weight of a gallon of water ( 8.6 pounds ) by number of gallons to get boyencey...so a 55 gallon barrel would be 8.6 × 55 = 473 pounds of flotation. This can made it easy to firguire out your projects.
