- In this video I show you how I built this very functional folding pontoon fishing boat. The legs fold in for transport and fold out for stability in the water. Thank you for watching, subscribing, and sharing.

I don't even know how I came here from SNL and crochet videos. I don't fish and live faraway from any body of water, and honestly I kinda hope that something silly would happen (and it didn't)...but I'm glad I watch this. It's quite interesting and impressive. 👍👍
Cool, I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for the comment!
I’m not a fisherman and normally wouldn’t care about a fishing boat but the ingenuity here made for a very enjoyable video. Bravo! Nicely done!
Thank you, I really appreciate it.
Every since I was a boy, I always wanted to build something like this. A slight different design is what I've had pictured in my head all these years but many things shown in your video, just might piece together some of things I would need to do to accomplish my childhood dream. I'll be retiring in 2 or 3 years so this might make a very good retirement project for me. Thanks for the video! Have a great day!!!
i used to build rafts all the time as a kid from scrap, they floated great but were always to heavy n bulky to transport, once i got six people on it, and even put a little sail. i was like 12!
А ведь согласись,что есть большая разница между купленным и сделанным собою лично! Хорошо ,что есть ещё творцы,а не потребители. Удачи,здоровья и счастья. Так держать!!!!!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Отличное плавательное средство, и главное сделано из подручных материалов! Гений).
Thank you very much!
конусообразней надо делать поплавки. сопротивляемость большая.

Now that's slick. If you are on a small lake or pond this is the way to fish!
Awesome guys, I am amazed with your invention and it will be added to my DIY project list. I love fishing and will keep a tab on your video uploads on RUclips. Thank you. 👍🏾
Phase 4 and 5; Drink cooler(s), umbrella.
Phase 6 and 7: Angled panel on front for better planing and extend (bend around chair back) tiller for easier control.
It's called "Kaizen" (continuous improvement). ;-)
That's until you reach the stage of "Shoot the Engineer, go into production".
Yes
Post office tried to use kaizen a few years back. Screwed it up as usual.
Funny. 😁
Greetings Brother! I’m 47 years old and being born and raised here at Lake of the Ozarks, I’ve been fishing primarily for Crappie and Catfish my whole life. . Two years ago my son, who is now 12, discovered fishing as well, and we haven’t gone more than 48 hours without fishing, every Summer Vacation since that time!! We love fishing. Crappie are easily taken here right off of boat docks. But in my neck of the woods, catfish, especially “Trophy Size” Blues and Flatheads, won’t be taken often, if at all, without owning a small boat to go out at night when they hunt. To that end, I’ve been researching the available options for building one or two small craft for specifically for that purpose, and in all my hours and hours of looking ( days is more like it!). your design, is exceptional in its simplicity and portability, and is one of my favorites, by far. I see many short “Great Job” , and “Cool!” type of generic, quickie comments on your project, but I also see a few , that I feel are a bit condescending. No, your boat won’t last two seconds on my lake on a Saturday , during tourist season, or anyplace that has a name ending with, “Ocean”.. But that’s because you obviously don’t live on, nor plan to use your craft ON any of those waters. It looks to me like a private lake, obviously restricted in its use, and you have no need to fear the Towel Sharks swamping you with their 40’ Sea Ray , monstrosity , that they paid half a million dollars for, to drive 3 months a year. Your design is lightweight, cheap (comparatively) , super easy to build, and in my opinion, your boat is PERFECT for someone with specific needs. Many people become professionals once they get behind a keyboard. They make suggestions about how you should have done this, and why didn’t you do that...How come you didn’t? Blah, blah... You designed it they way you did for a reason YOUR REASONS, for YOUR location and needs. This ain’t your 1st Rodeo either . You’ve arrived at this design based on previous attempts. I wonder how many guys picking apart your efforts have even had the Sack to Man-Up and build their own boat from scratch.? No kit, no blueprints, but from scratch? So, in closing, I’ll only offer these two thoughts for your consideration. 1). The Internet and especially social media , has inadvertently caused most of us to forget our manners. Many of us have become conditioned to see everything through only our own lens, making us very intolerant of anything we identify as not perfect in our conception of the world. Along with now having the ability to be cruel and/or judgmental of others...anonymously.... Don’t let those voices discourage you or your future ideas. Most people can’t see past themselves anymore . Don’t let them discourage you.
2). Keep up the good work!
That really means a lot, thank you for the encouraging words.
That is pretty awesome... Someone got an "A" in engineering class!
That's actually an interesting design, better thought out and more functional; it could do double duty as pontoon system for a gold dredge.
Very nice....ideal for ponds and small waters. GOOD JOB!
Wow I didn't realize the amount of time that went into making the pontoons! Nice job. I surely learned some stuff from this video!
They did take some time to complete, but I'm glad you liked them. Thank you for the comment!

I've seen literally 100s of these type of videos. Being an avid D.I.Y guy myself, They all seemed to need majior improvements, in one way or another. But, this one on the other hand, is a quality build.. Im impressed.. Awesome work..🍻🍻🍻 slaute..
Thank you, I really appreciate That. Thanks for the comment
@@supergokue1 🍻🍻👍👍👍
@@raysplace6548 xx
I highly agree. May make one myself this thing is awesome
Good job 👍 it looks like the piece of plywood and long 2/4 that I unsuccessfully built my ms-Ippy river raft out of when I was 12. Accept yours is a much more adult version that actually works. 👍 good job 👏. I know what I’m doing this weekend.
Very nice build. I'm impressed! Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate the compliment!
Pretty nice design!
One recommendation I would make is to use A-line X coating on the pontoons this way you don't have major problems if you run into any hard objects while in the water. It would be pretty easy for a hard piece of debris to make a bad day because the pontoons are made out of high density foam. Align X coding would make it a lot more stout and in the incidents were you did hit a hard piece of debris it would keep it all held together if the foam did break even within the line X coding.
I will give it a try, thanks for the suggestion
Как вариаант, предварительно покрыв пенопластовые понтоны аллюминевой фольгой. Пенопласт очень чувствителен к УФ-облучению и за сезон превратиться в пыль. И ещё, хомутовая стяжка не вызвает доверия в её надёжности, туда приходится основная нагрузка, вес рыбака против силы Архимеда.
Very nice build. Well done on total rigidity and stability, with interlocking structure. I like it!
Cool, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment
Thanks sir . you gave a good idea how to make outriggers flotation for my canoes. enjoy life .
One of the best DIY projects iv ever seen, its only missing one thing, an anchor. Awesome project Sir
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.
Отличная идея и исполнение !!
Молодец мужик !
Thank you, I really appreciate that!
Great job. Having watched this I think I would make the front floats with an angle for less resistance and to help keep the front up. My 6 year old grandson enjoyed watching this with me and discussing how you were building it and why you did it this way or that. Thanks for that experience my friend. Now I want to see a 10lb + bass tow you around the pond lol.
Yeah a couple extra foam pieces would’ve made a nice point.
GREAT TO SEE PEOPLE MAKING THINGS WHO THINK "OUTSIDE THE BOX".
Thank you!
Молодец мужик..делаешь толковые вещи..только когда выйдешь на открытую воду,лучше иметь с собой небольшие весла.На всякий случай.С Уважением из России.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
хорошее предложение
Super! I have watched your fishing boats evolve, that's what it takes- step by step improvement. I'll bet many of the guys watching are saying "okay he's got the thing about perfect, time to build a copy NOW!" Thanks for sharing.
Бог дал разум и место откуда растут руки. В нужном месте все и сошлось. Получилась классная штука. Правильный товарищ. Творец. А недочеты он исправит.
Looks like you have the center of gravity perfect. Great job! And it scoots pretty good.
Thank you!
Great project and the only thing I would add is an oar, you know for those times when you have a technical difficulty you cannot resolve.
Oh and a sail.
Electronic stuff is great and all, but if it fails and you have neither of these, you're screwed.
All he need do is ring 911.
man..what are u duin?!! very creative,impressive..i like that..
Cool, I was very happy with how it turned out as well. Thanks for the comment
Awesome idea!! Kudoes on the styrofoam pontoons..........I love it, man.......Good job!!
This wessel is sooo cool, love it! Maybe a solarpanel... and a cooler..... for beer!
What an incredible build, you sir have a very valuable skill
Thank you, I appreciate that!
dude, this is amazing
I appreciate it, thanks for the comment.
That is fantastic and I must say the best thing I’ve seen yet for fishing around weed areas as well
Thank you, I really appreciate that!
That's freaking awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
Idéia genial,está de parabêns,vou fazer também!
Não fez, né?
Muito bom; parabéns...
I think this will work pretty good just to make bigger pontoons and front ones more pointed for aerodynamics. These are just getting by. If you made them bigger and filled the tubes, almost all of them with expanding foam Not only would it be more buoyant but it wouldn't ever sink because no water can get in those tubes. The phone takes up all the space for water. I think if you do those two things that thing will work awesome!! Just giving you some tips from the one I built.
Great suggestions, thank you!
@@supergokue1 no problem. I used to live in an amusement park growing up. Yep an amusement parks! Luckiest kids in the world let me tell you! See my Dad was a VIP employee and the owner liked him in the back 🏠 house in the woods behind the camping section. So there was a lake with pontoon boats that were 2 person and had a big paddle in the middle that you peddled/ paddled. They were a similar bigger version of what you built. Justbig aluminum pontoons filled with foam and 8' angle iron that hooked the 3 pontoons together. Anyways the park closed and we took a paddle boat and pontoons that sat for years. As a kid I said I was going to built that pontoon damn boat. Well.... It took 20 years till I had enough 💰 money to pay for all the parts. IT WORKED!! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!! ONLY issue it still filled with water. Not nearly enough to sink it but that Son-Bitch weighed hundreds of pounds.See although it got water in it, it wasn't enough to sink it. That's what I meant.
I think that's vantastic I do you did always wanted to make something where you can walk out and have your stuff around you while you're walking that's a good one
Thank you
That’s really cool. Thanks for sharing this.
No problem, I'm glad you liked it.
Awesome idea and build. Good thinking dude!
The only thing I see that could be added is V shape foam shields to the two front floats to break and disperse the water easier while going forward. That might help glide through the water easier, less stress on the trolling motor.
Thank you for the suggestion, and I appreciate the compliment.
That’s freakin awesome dude. Job well done. And well built too!!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Good job. I love the idea and have boiled down my efforts to inflatable crafts. They fit in the trunk!
A boat that fits in the trunk is hard to beat. Thanks for the comment :)
Thankyou for sharing with us and good luck, you will need it with the sound of that motor; when fishing the motor needs to be quiet.
Hey love this one. Did like the other but this ones to cool if I could make one for my size ide love on. But need twice the pontoons lol. Have a great weekend and hope to see more builds. God bless
Thank you very much, God bless you and your family as well.
Lonny, your pontoon boats improve with every one you build.
Thanks, I really appreciate it.
Love it good job!!
Definitely going to make this. Thanks
Hey man this is an awesome DIY project, well done!!!! God bless you brother and thank you for sharing the build and everything!
I'm glad you liked it, thanks for the comment!
Well done
Молодец, прекрасная идея которую можно развивать дальше!
I wish you success!
Thank you, I really appreciate it.
That is so cool. Thanks for posting.
Genius design for a DIY project!
Cool, I'm glad you liked it!
Awesome.. just need a built in cooler and a spot for fish and maybe a big umbrella.
Those would be great additions, thanks for the comment!
Add unbrella holder on that chair for the sweltering hot days... Great vid!
That thing's pretty cool that's pretty ingenious good fishing I might have to make my own
awesome build! thanks.
No problem, glad you liked it.
Отличный аппарат получился! Браво!
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Very, very cool. This is just the thing for farm pond fishing......and to give me a project. Thanks for sharing
Nice, I'm glad you liked it :)
Excellent spectacular.
Saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina 👍😎
Very cool, thank you!
So great so working project well done. If you made those float sides with a shape of a boat or canoe, had better Buoyancy?
Good question, I'm not sure about that. I think it would make it go through the water better because of having less resistance. Thank you for the question.
I too was wondering the same but more on the aspect of it moving through the water racier rather than buoyancy
@@supergokue1 ... I was just about to mention That; because Yes, that's correct: Well, the Moving Through Water Better bit, anyway. In a way though, the General Bouyancy wouldn't be better.
You could always Add a Piece to the Front of Each of the 4 Floats. You'd need to do All 4, because the Back Ones also get Resistance. Adding then to the Back of each Float would also be advisable: For Resistance when Reversing, and it would also Glide through the water better, by acting like the Trailing Edge of a Plane Wing.

Genius! Love the folding pontoons.
Thank you for the complement. To be honest, these took me a long time to come up with. I'm glad they worked as well as they did.
Spectacular. Nice design-ver well thought out and nicely balanced. Have fun and keep up the good work.
Thank you very much, I appreciate that!
Freak'n AWESOME mannn!! THNX 4 sharin' tht idea!!!
Cool, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment.
Hideous music ! But I stuck through it - great idea & design, hats off to you !
Quality vehicle. Let me know when you catch some fish 👍. Next vid, how to cook them 😄
...Not to mention, where to put them after you catch them. Need a bucket deck.
One of the nicest homemade I've seen... maybe a foot longer... and little bit more foam... but this works very good now...
Awesome job. You gave your viewers an outstanding idea and very easy to follow. It looks like you spent approximately $500.00 for the materials and lots of off time for the build. Thanks for sharing and have a good time out on the water. God bless
Thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it :)
Very Nice project, Good for any DIY Person,
Nice for Ponds or Small lakes brilliant👍
Thank you very much, I appreciate it!
Gorgeous
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Awesome, - going to use that template for a hover foil
Great build , thanks for sharing…
Cool, I'm glad you liked it :)
Отличный плот! Для не больших водоемов!
Of all the designs of yours, that I've seen so far... and that's several, but probably not all... I like this one the best... simple and easily fast enough for its purpose... I might increase the circumference of the pontoons adding just enough length to their support arms to accommodate the added size... to increase buoyancy and lift your deck maybe 2 more inches out of the water... I'm not sure it is entirely necessary but if I were to make any changes that would probably be it... other than possibly adding a small cooler under the chair...
Thank you and great suggestion, I really appreciate it!
beautiful and thank you so much for that. amazing
Very cool, I'm glad you liked it :)
Đơn giản mà hiệu quả! Rất tuyệt vời bạn ơi!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it :)
This reminds me of the time I never build anything like this
Nice those fittings are not cheap thank you
redwood1957 and the spray foam in the long tubes
some nice little solutions in this, clever

Классно придумал, еще бы порыбачить посмотреть как при вываживании ведет он себя
I will probably start adding that to my videos in the future. Thanks for the comment!
Держится на воде уверенно думаю не будет проблем :)
А на берег- с берега???? Поломаются эти синие поплавки об дно ,особенно если камни???? Их наверное чем-то снаружи укрепить надо???? Но идея супер!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@user-pk6wv8bh9v наверное можно пустые пивные кеги пеной монтажной заполнить и будет надежнее... Вот только где взять такие пластиковые трубы ?
Маловата грузоподъёмность. Надо диаметр (объём) поплавков увеличить хотя бы на 30% Идея хорошая, но предпочитаю делать лёгкие лодочки. В таких габаритах и весе двухместная лодочка привлекательнее, ИМХО, конечно.
06:40 The engine makes a great Sound!
I was perfect timing, thanks for the comment.

Cute little bagger!
Hey for what its worth you impressed the hell out of me. Nice work.
Was that a crock in the water as you were narrating?you remind me of my older brother, he would see stuff at stores, laugh and build one better, use it a couple of times, then sell it.
38k aligators like this video
Definitely a crock
You've definitely inspired me to do something like this! I REALLY dig this! God bless
I'm glad you liked it, God bless you and your family as well.

So good job, man, and great idea.
I liked it. Congratulation!!! 👍
THAT'S A GREAT IDEA ! THANX!
BRILLIANT VIDEO GOOD OF YOU TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE !
Thanks, i'm glad you liked it!
You know it's kind of sitting low you need to make the pontoons a bit larger .. take the already pontoons and elongate them each one about three ft
He probably built it that size specifically to fit in the back of his truck. Any bigger and it wouldn't.
Very nice but like others, I'm curious if you saved any money over just buying a kickboat?
Good idea... seen it elsewhere though, I bought something similar a while back but inflatable... fun but of no use down here in Florida... gators and snapping turtles bad if you capsize
Well presented... good video
Pretty damn cool , I certainly would not have patience to do all of that lol
This looked a little better for speed and bouancy. Dude consider a umbrella holder for shade that hopefully won’t be in the way for casting.
He side cast it.
@@francescozambuto1713 vb
An umbrella would turn into a sailing boat 😂
perhaps a beer cooler too. Don't drink and captin!
the best I've seen, very small footprint
I appreciate that, thanks for the comment!
looks very stable, and cool. We lost a great little 2.5hp seagull motor in the Port Adelaide river years ago when it came loose. It will only happen once!
Sorry to hear that :(
thats brilliant fair play fella.
Cool, I'm glad you liked it
OMG!!!! This is friggin genius ingenuity at its finest! Well done sir!
Thank you, I really appreciate that.
That is an awesome build. thanks for sharing. Awesome how it floats so well.
i like that little circular saw you was using! Where did you find it at??? I would like to have one like that for some of my projects. Take care. Rodney
It is called a Dremel 678-01 Circle Cutter and Straight Edge Guide. It cost about $25.00 on Amazon. Thanks for the question.
@@supergokue1 Thankya sir for all the information & also just for replying back yo me.
Thank you for directing me to this video to see how you made the foam pontoons. I have a few more questions:
- how well did the cutout sections of foam hold together once the pontoon was wet and under force? The hot glue held?
- what did you apply to the outside of the pontoons? Some sort of varnish then spray paint?
- does this type of foam become water logged over time, or is a closed cell foam?
I would like to make a flotation collar for my 14' aluminum boat. Basically I need a foam log or pontoon, and this approach may do the trick. I've also thought about trying to join 5 gallon buckets end to end to build a pontoon, but I'm struggling with their tapered shape.
Thanks a ton
The hot glue held up great and is still going strong. I applied clear Flex Seal because I got it for free, but I have other methods that are way cheaper. Unfortunately, I can not share them because I will be using them in future videos. The foam I used is called XPS foam, it is used in construction. I bought it at Lowe's home improvement. XPS foam has no issues with holding water. Thank you for the questions.
Nice job. I made a foam kayak. If I were going to make a pvc pontoon boat I would use at least 6 inch pvc pipe and eliminate the foam. And maybe 4 pontoons instead of 2 depending on how buoyant it was. The foam gets damaged.
That awesome lol!!! I want one!!
