    New way of looking at flotation

    I think I replied in another post as to what I used on my 19' Alumaweld for floation which are pool noodles from the Dollar store. I read up on various material used and for me this is what I used.

    Duckworth and other welded boats

    As mentioned, Duckworth and North Rivers are quite popular boats...more so in the PacNorthWest where they're built. I've fished in a couple of my buddies boats and was/am quite impressed with the Duckie and N/Rivers but they are quite costly.

    Is a Pontoon a "Tin Boat"?

    I did call a local MinnKota repair shop for wiring and switches info, and was told my idea will never work. He said many have tried using a trolling motor as a bow thruster with no success. Oh well :wink: .

    Is a Pontoon a "Tin Boat"?

    If so, here's my contribution on how to better/modify one so that one can be manuvered in tight quarters. A couple of months ago I decided to design, fabricate and install a Bow Thruster for my 28’ Party Hut Pontoon because it was very difficult to maneuver when the Delta wind kicks up...
