Thread: Pontoon Dingy build.

I like the idea of having the tote tank out of the way so perhaps a long fuel line and tote tank under floor foward ? plus are you adding rod holders.. I've seen the ones that you slip into rolock holes and was thinking the same for you low proflie lugs or something... I know this is set up for nets and less is more.. but it will end up snappering also I'm certain! Very impressed with the progress..my biggest thought is comfort and ease of use for yourself and kin...will you be side seating her ?

really enjoying this thread, great project, keep posting.

I tasked @Kiwi Greg with procuring me some hardwood planks for seats. I think they are quila? Anyway they have passed the two fat fucks bouncing up and down on them test.
I wanted wood seats over folded Alloy for a bit of "suspension" in the seat but mainly wood is a lot warmer on the freckle on frosty mornings and nights than alloy.

Have not compleatly ruled out some kind of inbuilt tank but I really need to sea trial her first before I think about that and where it might go.

Yep Kwilla

If you break those you have bigger things to worry about

Is that "No More Gaps" your laying down there @veitnamcam ?

Awesome work dude.
Are those fold up wheels fitted to the back a feasible option for single player dragging across the beach etc?

Yep possibly.

Those fold up wheel arrangements work great, well worth it

Two things cam...

Did you find the rubber duck bills? I have two spare ones that I can sell to you.

Second, I have a Stabi 389. Set up by a pro diver, no seats as you would normally have; just three padded button seats on top of pontoons. One for the driver and one each side of the hull just south of the angle change. Means you have much more deck space. I have a row of pipes just forward of seats to stop fuel tank and dive gear from heading south.

Just a thought...
