    WT actual F…..
    After watching this video I’m 100% sure he married his cousin and has never ever finished anything he ever started after dropping out of 5th grade.
    “I bought this generator last second and never did any research. Uhm. This here door I’ll take off and turn upside down ….. we’ll wait that won’t work either. Well here you have a starter switch it don’t work but um yeah it might work if I run it up under the boat.
    This video has to be a prank.

    Replace the water pump impeller, its worn, that's why the telltale needs the ear muffs to work, not enough pressure being made in the pump.
    Front door, make it a stable door,

    Tiny house on some pontoons so it’s a real “houseboat!” I was kinda shocked by that bathroom though, oh man, gotta have one for all the ice cold beverages!!! Thanks for the tour, hope your motor and steering work out for you and the Mrs, nice work there Zack, good to hear from you too!

    Nice to see you back, nice to see around the new project. Are you putting railings round the back deck? What will you be doing with the other one? 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍

      @zacksrandomprojects9698  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey thanks Ray! Yes I have railings for the back already cut down to size and welded. Even welded the spacers underneath like I did on the front railing. They are under my carport though so you didnt see them. I will probably do a few more things to the other boat and then try and sell it I guess to recoup some money and make room in the yard. Thanks for watching! 🍻

    Anything you and your family can enjoy is worth it. But I would recommend pressure checking the pontoons for any leaks. Anything man made has issues.

    Great video. I grew up in the 50s and 70s. Trailer park, Pensacola. Only problem with jalousie windows... kids.
    Had a neighbor boy come over and he leaned on them or something, I was 6, and the windows broke, he got dozens of stiches in his arms.
    But yeah, brings me back to when I was a kid.

      @zacksrandomprojects9698  ปีที่แล้ว

      I think they're about 24' long. I cant remember the diameter. They are smaller than 25" though, because my regular pontoon boat has 25" diameter, and the houseboat pontoons seem a little slimmer.

      Yeah, if I wouldnt have turned it back right side up the water running down the glass would go behind the lower pane and leak water into the inner window seal. The door is under a roof overhang though so the rain would have to be blowing in sideways. Thanks for watching! 🍻

      @@Pitster73 Whenever I messed up the houseboat at Lake Alto at the boat ramp, it just kinda took the wind out of my sails. I went from a super high, to a super low within a few minutes. I honestly about had a mental break down. I took the boat home and didnt even look at it for months. All I would do is move it to mow under it. Within the last few months I have pulled it around by my shop and replaced all the tore up wood on the boat that happened that day. Ive painted the whole boat also. I just need to get out there and weld the pontoons up and put new railing on the back because the port side railing was tore off the boat. Its just so damned hot here in Florida I dont wanna mess with it on my off days, I would rather take my other boat to the springs and cool off and drink beer. I will get busy on it soon though. Ive just got to get my mind right. It was a hell of a blow. Thanks for the comment. 🍻
