This is a 8'x20' modular pontoon boat I designed, made from 12" PVC watermain pipe. The PVC pontoons are filled with spray foam (optional)for extra buoyancy. The deck is five 4'x8' sections made from treated 2x6 lumber. The decks are fastened by ready rod that can be bent into U-bolts fairly easily. The ready rod is then insulated with PVC conduit to prevent chafing of the pontoons. The deck sections are bolted to each other using 3 Stainless steel bolts per section to keep it from flexing and racking. This boat can be built by almost anyone with readily available materials for under $1000. It is designed to come apart and loaded into a pick up truck by 2 people. It will never rot or sink. You can put a small travel trailer under 15' on it, or build a modular shack on top of it. Powered by a 9.9HP motor. Thanks to Alibre Inc for the PVC and Mitchieboy for the outboard motor. Please rate, download and enjoy. #99HP #Barge #Boat #dock #foam #houseboat #Lake #lumber #Modular #motor #outboard #Pipe #platform #Pontoon #portable #PVC #Raft #River #Shanty #spray #treated #ubuild #vessel
