I repair laptops. You're my best type of customer! Power faults. :D (Just kidding.) Really, be careful with what specific amperage the...
I'm in no way a pro, but I have to agree with Frosty on the cost factors. With a lot of help from the members on here I built a small houseboat to...
I was searching for used hulls and I ran across this 2007 Department of Marine and Environmental Systems case study (PDF) for "CODAC" (Coastal...
I've never noticed the gallery? Thanks for the tip. This was my favorite design in the gallery. Nice chine lines, ample bow, and a stout stern....
Just a novice here on marine applications, but, wouldn't it be easier to cut the top off the tank, in place, install suspended bladder tanks and...
Are epoxy fillets just considered the easier way, or can a wood fillet with a convex radius be bed in epoxy and achieve the same purpose? The...
Hey JDworld, You came to the right place for info. The Pro's on here were an immense help in my design and build process on a build almost...
I guess it's not worth changing. The pontoon I had the problem with is a 20'. It's draft of 12" stays mostly level at rest, less than 1 degree...
I had to look real hard to see what direction that ship was going? :) Will a bull nose help a pontoon ride up a wave? Here was my idea. Any...

32' long - 28" deep - 24" wide, semi-displacement tri-pontoon house boat. Max speed around 10 knots. Using the Huck Finn pontoon profile (size...
Are there any innovative designs for the bow of a pontoon to combat the "dive" effect? Will raising the bow height and gunwale line with a long...
Having been a constant "asker" on here, I can give you my 2 cents on what I've learned from the very knowledgeable seniors in this forum. My...
I've been collecting the build materials, tanks, engine, and many other parts over the past 2 years. Enough to almost fill half of a 24x24 garage....
Great links, Thanks! I don't have plans to mass fabricate. I'd like to use this one for a couple years and then sell it to build another in the 8m...
I received a free hull damaged 2001 750cc jet ski. It had less than 80 hours on the engine. I pulled the top off it and it's in mint condition....
Calculating the quantity was easy. Calculating 'position' is the part giving me trouble. Using the CG guide directions is confusing as they don't...
Basic design is done. Mock ups are tested and done. On to the Coast Guard and legal requirements. The vessel is a 6.5 meter tri-toon houseboat....
Thanks Par. After a good research review and the advice on here I'm going back to wood. I have found a UV resistant rubber laminate to avoid...
