Thanks for sharing!

Thanks 👍

Still needs sanding then paint

@nickpellegrin yeah Nick but it's solid, but that little motor, what an idea that was. I'll be watching Brother.

Thanx,i like the way it turned out.

😆

Gotta have more hp to increase speed. Right now the lil 5 honda maxed out on the 6hp prop.

Thanx.....i tried

Its a fun little boat

It will quiet it down alittle,but may cause back pressure issue in idle. I thought about running exhaust thru the leg like the outboards intended,but then it would require water cooling the leg. And honestly dont think its worth all the effort to lose just a few decibles. But maybe ill try adding a stainless pipe below the waterline in the future.....outside the leg so water cooling wont be needed.

It was 1 year old,2 hours total run time. Bushings were 30ths over sized average.all greesed,no wear. Asfar as bending the weak part of the boom,ill own up to being rough with it. All the slop was like that out the box.

Yeah it does pretty good,boats heavier than i thought,but it rides great.was hoping to hit 15mph,but 11 is plenty.

Um....i dont have an uncle named bob 😆. I no longer have the boat,theres plenty ways to get the water out.my biggest concern if while in back of my truck and i get a heavy pourdown. Woulda been nice to have compartment drains.even if held 3" with drains open. Still a good boat for the money thou.

Thanks

No problem,glad it helped.

Awesome....glad to know how far my help is getting.....thanx.

Thanx....im trying brother.

Depends on the shade of blue.its been scientifically proven that light blue colors move faster than dark blue colors. You can find detailed report from 3 independant studdies here at www.imaretard.org

I hope your right,the 32" bottom bothers me,but ive owned narrower.

Thanx.....i do what i can on a budget.....imagine if i had money 😆

Cheap,easy,and fun

@@nickpellegrin urs runs better than my 88spl is..lol! A bunch of kids at the boat ramp seen it smoking one day at the water and asked me why smoke was coming up . I told them it was a diesel!lol! They freakin believed me!lol! Took pics and everything

@@TheDirtRoadKing The more smoke the better with the old omc

Thanx....it got a whole lot nicer since

No idea

Lol....i had no viewers again 😆

Please post a video 😁

Thanx for the info,but dont think im going spend another $60 at this time.

Understand completly,a 9hp will do the same job this 15hp does.your restricted by the control valve aslong as your motor can deliver the pumps rated rpms.

Cut strips of barrels,very easy using a table saw.

@@nickpellegrin That would mean one would cut a larger diameter barrel than the ones used in the float. If One wanted to use 55 gal barrels for the float, what would you suggest?

@@fredartus9571 No sir a 55 gal barre is recessed inside a frame,and im not wrapping completly around the barrel,just 2/3rds of the barrel.

Your wrong buddy,it runs just fine. Wouldnt reach that high of rpm on 1 cylinder,and the boat wouldnt plane out on 1 cylinder. I do thank you for viewing and tunning in thou.

Great tip!

I already put 3 coats of deck paint thou 😁

@@nickpellegrin deck paint works well also

Thanks for the visit

😆 we will see. A cheap 32x24 plastic shower pan is $180

Thanx....slowly getting there

@@nickpellegrin You can only get so much done when it is pouring rain.

@@johnnybbgunner2136 I want to start on the woodwork for shower, but can cut the lumber outside.

@@nickpellegrin The water storage area came out clean. I did not even know it was even there until you lifted the lid/arm wrest.

@@johnnybbgunner2136 That was the plan.....glad it worked lol

Ah....glad i could help. And vids of your setup.....ill go peek at your channel.

Thanx Funds are tight,upgrades will have to wait awhile

@nickpellegrin understand that 100%. All of my projects are a little here and a little there and finding stuff that will work. Anyway you are really going to enjoy this houseboat once it's on the water.

Thanx.....its almost completed

Nice info.....thanx

Yes i can,my original plan was to have 1 center barrel a water tank,skip a barrel or 2 and convert 1 tank to black/grey tank. Maybe in the future.i wanna see where she drafts and handles now that interior is almost done.

I agree,but its hard to justify spending more than 20k on a boat built on barrels.......i personally love barrels for a hull.i have 18 seperate compartments,and easy to replace if needed. $30 an hour is what i charge for my floating docks.....i aint greedy.

Something else to consider the lower hourly rate,i worked those 400 hrs on my time,instead of 12hr a day,5 days a week on demand.

😂😂😂

Yeah definatly wanna go explore that lake.
