Hey guys,
Well, I have been thinking for a while now to build my own pontoon but thought I should get some advice first since I couldn't find any similar projects online. Or at least not in details.
What I am thinking is that I wanna build the 3 logs out of wood and fiberglass, I'm not bad when it comes to wood so I think I can do well there. And as far as I can find online, once the logs are built, everything is easy from there on.
Now the question is, will it float as well as if it was made out of aluminum?
I know I can buy the logs or have them done but I really wanna enjoy the project.
I was also thinking to basically fill the logs with foam which makes me believe that it should float just as high.
I have a 21' wellcraft bowrider but I just love the space on the Pontoon.
Anyway, let me know what you think and we'll go from there.
Thanks in advance,
Waldo
