Omg I love your dog, I mean who doesn't want their dog to get them a beer every now and again and she is the sweetest thing wow what a great dog she is.
Very impressive build! I recently purchased a 1985 28’ party barge and I’m planning to build something very similar. What size tubes does your pontoon have? Mine are 21” in diameter. I’m thinking I’ll have to add a third tube to support the added weight. Thanks for all the great pointers. Looking forward to documenting and sharing my build.
Mine has 28" tubes so you probably will need to add a third toon I got lucky on mine, I thought I would have to add a one also. good luck with the build. Thanks for watching.
I love this! I'm planning on doing the same thing. So your videos are a great inspiration. Question: What kind of sheathing did you use on the outside of your composite walls? Because it looks smooth and it's gorgeous.
@EverythingOutdoors Really like your boat building methods and the result. I have a few questions. I'll start with these if you don't mind: 1) How did you attach the walls to each other (along their vertical joints) (method, hardware)? 2) How did you attach the roof to the walls?
At the vertical joints I glued and screwed a 1x6 on one side of the joint and on the other side I fiber glassed across the joints and also did the same horizontally. The roof was framed in with 2x4's and plywood on top. It was all screwed down then fiber glassed. Then I glued down a rubber membrane that overlapped the walls a couple of inches.
@@ew1421 (Edited and removed some questions) Thanks. When you say you also did the same _horizontally_, do you mean on the wall / floor seam? How did you handle where the Filon needed to come into contact with or overlap the rubber mat at the top of the walls? I noticed an unfinished lip around the full perimeter of the composite wall when it was laying on the shop floor. Maybe that was part of the answer?
@@_onesimpleidea yes there is a 1x6 along the top of the wall and at the bottom of the wall with a layer of fiberglass where the roof and floor join together. The rubber roof membrane overlaps the Filon held down with adhesive and trim gutter.
the diameter is 27 inches. I ran that way for two years but recently I got a good deal on a center toon also 27 inches and added it. it leveled it out but I lost top end speed by 3 knots. with the extra floatation of the center toon at low speeds I gained a lot more mph.
Very nice build. I'm starting a 24ft houseboat. I would love more details on your build. That remote steering looks like something I need. You did your homework on this - whatbdid you decide for the toilet?
The roof is plywood that I joined together at the joints with fiberglass then I just glued down that rubber lining that they use on RV roofs. It's stretched over the side and held down with gutter trim
I really like how you constructed the walls. I notice the outside has a shiny surface. Is that just paint over marine plywood or did you cover it with a thin white metal skin like on DIY tear drop campers?
Ahh. I was wondering. I must have missed it in the video. Hope you had a great Labor Day. I'm on the north property line of Thunderbird. I could hear all the boat traffic and that dang jet boat, but I stayed off the lake this weekend. lol @@ew1421
It was a good time but I decided not to take out the houseboat it was a little too crowded and hot. Stayed hooked up to shore power with the A/C cranked.
You are close. I'm just west of 108th on Alameda Dr. next to the Lakeview Baptist church and just a half mile from the Denver Corner boat ramp. @@ew1421
@ew1421 OK, these are my last "build" questions for now. Appreciate the help: 1) When you placed the cabin on the floor layout, did you put it exactly in the middle of the boat (front to back) or closer to one end? 2) Based on your experience now, if you had to start over, would you put the cabin farther forward or farther backward on the boat floor? 3) Based on your experience now, if you had to start over, would you keep the full width storage locker at the stern, or would you split it in two with a gap, allowing you to reach the engine?
@@_onesimpleidea #1 the cabin is 1ft farther back than the front. #2 I wouldn't change it. You want the front a little higher for when it gets choppy and with a flat roof you want the water running off the back. #3 the back storage area doesn't go all the way across the back. There is a space on the starboard side where the swim ladder was. You can easily access the motor if you need to and I think that's important. You need to access the prop when trimmed up just in case you get something wrapped up in the prop.
Everything I own is for sale for the right price... Just kidding! Im going to keep the boat for now I'm having too much fun with it but if something changes I will let you know. Thanks for watching.
@Everything Outdoors I would go Yengling personally, but anything but AB products. And, if you really wanna get attention, Title the Video, something about Sadie NOT bringing me Bud Light!! 🤣🤣
Right this is what I'm saying, the boat build is great and all but your dog just got you a beer and no one is talking about it wow so cool. She is a good girl for sure.
Great looking dog. Too bad she/he/them/they/that/this/him/her/who/what/when/where why and how/her/cat/didn’t bring you an actual fucking beer, that Bud Light crap is garbage. Js. But I don’t judge

You know damn well I had to smash the like Butten and subscribe when the dog got the beer.😂
Haha! Thanks!
That is awesome! The dog is wise beyond it's years too!
Thanks!
Did that dog just get you a beer...most impressive thing i have ever seen...well played
Omg I love your dog, I mean who doesn't want their dog to get them a beer every now and again and she is the sweetest thing wow what a great dog she is.
Thanks! that's her favorite thing to do. sometimes she will get one without asking Haha!

Looks awesome! What did you use for the outside of the walls?
I really have some questions on how you made your walls and how you framed and secured them to the boat
I love this! I'm planning on doing the same thing. So your videos are a great inspiration. Question: What kind of sheathing did you use on the outside of your composite walls? Because it looks smooth and it's gorgeous.
It's called Filon. It is 8'6" wide and as long as you want. They can cut any length. It is glued on with contact cement. Thanks for the kind words.
@EverythingOutdoors Really like your boat building methods and the result. I have a few questions. I'll start with these if you don't mind:

@@_onesimpleidea Glad to help!
Amazing job man.Beautiful fishing boat now lol.
Thanks! There's some nightime Garmin livescope fishing on Episode #3
@@ew1421 I saw,thats badass.
@@michaelveil6805 thanks!
Very cool! What's the diameter of the pontoons? That will dictate how well it carries the weight.
the diameter is 27 inches. I ran that way for two years but recently I got a good deal on a center toon also 27 inches and added it. it leveled it out but I lost top end speed by 3 knots. with the extra floatation of the center toon at low speeds I gained a lot more mph.
Sorry ...I meant MPG
Very nice build.
I'm starting a 24ft houseboat. I would love more details on your build. That remote steering looks like something I need.
You did your homework on this - whatbdid you decide for the toilet?
Thanks, the toilet is a marine model with a macerator pump. It just sucks the water out of the lake and pumps it back to the blackwater tank.
If you want more details I would be glad to share. Be sure and share your build. Thanks!
@@ew1421 I really would love more details. I'll be boating on lake Huron with regular access to marinas for pump outs I hope.
THAT is a well trained dog - best I ever seen!
I'm interested - how did you do the roof?
The roof is plywood that I joined together at the joints with fiberglass then I just glued down that rubber lining that they use on RV roofs. It's stretched over the side and held down with gutter trim
@@ew1421 Cool thanks. My son has an RV that needs the roof replaced...so wondering. Very nice work - thanks for posting!
Awesome build. What are the diameter of pontoon you have?
The toons are 28 inch diameter
Nice work. How much weight do you think you added?
I really like how you constructed the walls. I notice the outside has a shiny surface. Is that just paint over marine plywood or did you cover it with a thin white metal skin like on DIY tear drop campers?
It's actually a fiberglass siding called Filon. You glue it on with contact cement.

Great job home built hero. Was the generator installed for the pond video?
No it wasn't...it does sit a little lower with the generator and full of fuel but not enough to worry about. Thanks!

@@_onesimpleidea Great!
Can you tell me what you use on wall? its shiny
Filon is what is on the outside and just paneling on the inside. Thanks for watching
Any chance you would let me purchase your houseboat?
I just love what you built!
Everything I own is for sale for the right price... Just kidding! Im going to keep the boat for now I'm having too much fun with it but if something changes I will let you know. Thanks for watching.
is the roof made of the same material as the walls?
the roof is a rubber liner that is glued. you can get it any length its 8.6 wide. I purchased it at Recpro.
❤great girl!
How did you attach the walls to the floor
I used galvanized angles every 4' bolted through the floor and an adhesive around the perimeter. Thanks for watching
What a nice project
Thank you!
Nice! 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Thanks!
BUD LIGHT???? Oh no Sadie, Bad dog!!! hahahaha
lol! I know looks bad. I will get a new video at the lake this weekend haha!
@@ew1421 hahaha, yes, indeed! Do that.
@@OOCFM any suggestions on brand?
@Everything Outdoors I would go Yengling personally, but anything but AB products.
And, if you really wanna get attention, Title the Video, something about Sadie NOT bringing me Bud Light!! 🤣🤣
@@OOCFM Sounds good... I have a buddy that switch to Yengling I will give it a try. Great idea on the title also. Thanks!

fu#k the boat how do i get my dog to fetch me beer?
Haha! now that's a secret.
Right this is what I'm saying, the boat build is great and all but your dog just got you a beer and no one is talking about it wow so cool. She is a good girl for sure.
Great looking dog. Too bad she/he/them/they/that/this/him/her/who/what/when/where why and how/her/cat/didn’t bring you an actual fucking beer, that Bud Light crap is garbage. Js. But I don’t judge
You started off as a DIY video and very quickly went to “TADA!” here it is all done. I’m disappointed. Have fun with your house boat.
Hey sorry, I agree it's a little confusing but there are more videos of the build. Start with episode #1. Thanks for watching
Very good job
Thank you!
