[font "Calibri"]Here is another boat I just finished, it is more of the kick boat style than the other boat that I posted. It has cup holder adjustable seat, the rod holders will be swapped out for better/ smaller tubes, I just had this pipe laying around. Covered plywood work areas to easily attach accessories. I know it is not a tube but thought some here may be interested. [/font]

I like the new design. Clean cut and looks comfortable.

Nice finish-work! Is that electrical conduit or thin wall tubing of another kind?
Do you plan on putting oars on?
Nice job.
It is still in the kickboat/floattube/pontoon boat category so thank for sharing.

It is made of thin wall electrical conduit, if i keep this boat I will use a trolling motor and fins. But i will probably try to sale this one. My 330 lb frame is more suited to the larger boats.

The fleet is expanding.

You have been busy. They look great. How do they handle?
[signature]
They look good. How do they work with the electric motor? It looks like you have the motor set to push you forward instead of pulling you. Wouldn't pulling you backwards be easier on those pontoons too?

I love the little brown kick boat, it is a lot of fun, it holds my large frame good, still learning to use the flippers. The green boat I gave to my dad for fathers day and we have not yet got it registered to try the motor bur the 8 footers we had in the past done really well with the motors. I have a 4th boat about half done it will be simular to the water wagons with foam the middle.

I have it set up to push. We have not used it on this boat but we used it on some 8 footers we had, we used those on slow moving rivers and pushing worked well with the natural flow of the river.

Pretty SWEET. You weld up your own frames? That could be a nice talent to have. Love to see a picture of this on the water. You have definitely put a lot of thought and detail in this.
Thanks.

here is a few pics of it floating me, I am about 330 lbs, I did not have the motor mount on yet, I will be using a trolling motor on this one, I also forgot to retract the wheels before I shoved off. I do, do all of the welding on these boats.

Very cool! About what does one of these cost you to make?
[signature]
It cost me about 125 bucks to build the one in the picture,

Here is a boat a boat that i built that was given as a Christmas gift. Warning it is a little loud.
[signature]
Wow, that is a lot of pink!
[signature]
Yep it is, she seen me on my little brown one in the summer and sait she wanted one only pink, so that is ehat she got. She should be easy to find if she is ever adrift.

Here is another kick boat that i just finished,
[signature]
These are really cool. I love it. What are the pontoons made of?
I'm always impressed by people who create something that cool from scratch.
[signature]
The toons are made of stryofoam and the frames are made of electrical conduit welded together.
