    Just wanting some help. I want to build a 2 level poonton boat, to have it ready when my brother gets out of the Marines. I have aready designed the levels. 1st level: 14' long by 7' wide. 2nd level: 9' off of the 1st level. Same size, with 4' diving board sticking out of the bow. The help I need: What size pontoons do I need? Where can I find a portolet that is no more than 3' by 3'?

    Just Google marine toilets and you will find dozens. Can't help you with the pontoons. portables $22.00 up.

    Calculate your displacement, add a reasonably safety factor, divide by 2 (assuming two pontoons) and you have a fair idea of the volume necessary for your tubes. Do yourself a favor and calculate them only half submerged with a full load.
