[QUOTE="Country Dave, post: 335409, member: 10344"] [i]I will probably spend the first 6 months sourcing equipment and material, Starting with a good Tig/Mig I have my eye on this one. Going to practice my azz off until my welds look like a roll of dimes. After the welder I will be looking for the Jon hull. The Pontoon boat will be a ground up Tritoon build. The center log or pontoon if you will is going to be heavily modified with a motor mount built in to the back of it and two compartment in the center log. One that will house the fuel tank and another for storage. Also going add lifting strakes and at least 150HP motor. The deck will be 20x8 the overall length will be 22 ½ I have two big challenges and one of them will be the welds. I’m a realest and understand you don’t master Tig welding in six mounts. So that will be the biggest challenge but I’m a fast learner and I’m always up for new things and new challenges. The second problematic issues I will have to overcome will be a safe and efficient way to offload and retrieve the skiff from the deck of the toon. I’ve got it down to two possible ways and heavily leaning towards one. [/i] [/QUOTE]
