Ok, I have this crazy idea and was wondering what folks might think of it. I sold my 20' pontoon boat this summer and still have my 16'er with a 12' deck on it. It has 3 double benches to sit six and the driver for a total of 7. If there's 7 adults on it, it sits very low on the water and I don't really like it. It only has an 18hp on it and it's not built for speed at all. So my thought is, what would happen if I bolted a 12' john boat underneath it between the two pontoons. Has anyone done anything like this before? It should give a lot of lift it the height was correct. Of course I'd have to be careful that it did not fill up with rain water!
I would like it to be easy on and off so that when I trailer it, I would remove it first. But I only take it out once a year at the end of the season in Oct. so it's not a regular thing.
Any thoughts on this? Crazy idea? Workable? Comments? thx...
