Fishing/Hunting pontoon boat

I want to build a pontoon boat that can be broken down without much hassle and transported in my van... I am planning to fish and use it as a blind for hunting... I want it to be somewhere in the range of 8' long and 5' wide... does anyone have any ideas... what I have so far is I will get some ventilation tubes and seal and fill them with foam for the floats and make a wooden plat form to bolt to them... I will also be using a small electic motor on this... if anyone has any ways I can improve upon this or do something differently please let me know...

Thanks

Now I am thinking for the pontoons to just buy foam from HD and layer it to make it a foot thick then cut out the shape and fiberglass it... what do you guys think about this and how would i go about fiberglassing it...

Thanks

I would laminate a good stright piece of ceder for a backbone in the pontoon made of laminated foam for strength and also provides an attaching member for your deck rails and deck. . Glassing foam can be done with epoxy resin NOT fiberglass resin. FG resin will melt the foam . Epoxy is not cheep . Another option would be to Rhino line the pontoons It will protect the foam and easy to repair if needed . The repair would be to use an expanding foam in a can to fill the ding sand smooth and re apply some Rhino liner . The GOOD thing is no matter what , it wont sink.
