Fantastic boat. I bet she's quiet and cooler than an aluminum boat. I wish I had that kind of time an talent.

Thanks for the compliments!

I'm having a Marine Surveyor take a look at my boat next Tuesday. I sure hope he likes what he sees!!!!

Nice work. Have any photos of the actual build of it? That'd be cool to see, Especially the poontons.

Re: One-of-a-Kind Pontoon --- All Wood

Thanks for the good words guys. I appreciate your interest.

Have any photos of the actual build of it?Especially the poontons.

I have hundreds of pictures from the building process. I've attached some from the hull construction.

I am sure you would need several Photobucket sites to document all those photos!

Once again, nice work. What are the PVC pipes for? Ventilation??Pressurization?

Re: One-of-a-Kind Pontoon --- All Wood

Cool. Why the plastic pipe between sections in the 'pontoons'?

Why the plastic pipe between sections in the 'pontoons'?

The plastic pipes are used as conduit for any wires, cables or hoses that are needed. Both outboard pontoons have them running fore and aft. There are also 2 that run crosswise for the same reason.

There is approximately 600 feet of wiring installed through out the boat.

That is one of the coolest, most unique boats I've ever seen. What fun!

Well, I had my survey a week ago. The surveyor loved my boat. He took my application number with him and faxed the report directly to the insurance company for me. They had their copy 3 days before I received my copy. I had insurance as of midnight Thursday, I could not have asked for better service. Both the surveyor and the insurance people (BoatUS) did a fantastic job!!!!!!

It is comforting to know that she is now insured. Hopefully, I'll never need to use it!

If you do put all the pictures on a photosite could you please give us the link?? I think that is probably one of the most unique and beautiful boats I have seen.

Re: One-of-a-Kind Pontoon --- All Wood

That is probably the ONLY pontoon I would own.

I don't care for them, but I really like that one!!

You did an outstanding job!!

Welcome to iboats!!

I hope the surveyor undersstands what skill and craftsmanship it took to make your pontoon. that is one piece of art that is useable. your boat is unbelievable. you are very talented. very talented indeed

Re: One-of-a-Kind Pontoon --- All Wood
