@@supergokue1 There is a video I recommend. It is called the Tesla Catamaran by the Tech ingredients channel. He does an excellent job of explaining hydro-dynamics.
My grandson had tried to make one (same concept) he was only 15 yrs old, but it didn't work like yours!lol! Anyway, I shared it with him & he'll be 27yrs in 2 days! It will bring back memories! Good job!!!
Just subscribed. You and me were independently thinking unique ideas about pallets, coolers and 45 gallon containers. Inspiring to see how well they are working.
Whoever gave a thumbs down are just jealous haters cause he actually created something so rad!! I wanna see more builds.. totally got these min of life well worth my time..plus I now have become inspired to create
Stronger trolling motor with more thrust. However, this is only good for pond fishing, no way could you take it out on a lake that is choppy. Just too small.
For a day fishing boat that's solar powered and electric motor operated. Cool points. I love the design. The thought put into this project covers most prepper needs and the fisherman's quiet backwater access to that perfect bass hunters spots. I could bow fish on this. I could spear fish from this. I can spin cast from this. Very well done. Perhaps add a sun cover to avoid sunburn. Ok. You did add a sun umbrella. The perfect project. Kudo's. I would build this also for my grandchildren. Maybe a very small sail (nostalgia) Love the idea. Definitely a subscription.
All the important things in life, water, fishing, solar power, homemade confidence! The solar panel will work better in the sun (maybe overhead) but that’s an upgrade for another day. Congratulations!
Incredibly creative approach to ordinary things!!!! Everyone in these pipes can see the sewerage, you saw the possibility of the supporting structure. In polyurethane foam (or whatever it is) everyone can see the insulating material, you have noticed the material for the floats. The same with containers whose usual use is polarly distant from yours. In this way, the same aproach to things, the boys from Apollo 13 were saved in practically no exit situation. I am impressed, very inspiring movie!!!!! Bravo.
Great job. It is hard to believe some manufacturer hasn't come up with a plan to manufacture any one of your' neat pontoon boats. I think if China gets a look, they would build one for sure. If I were younger I would build one. I would have a problem getting in and out of them. I am 85. Deciding which one to build would be the biggest problem. Have you ever considered pedal power? Then I don't think it would not require a registration. I wish I bad a way to get out on the water and fish. That would be perfect.
Holy engenerring very cool. And gave me a idea for pontoons for my kayak. Right now im using boat bumpers but your way i can make some sleek longer floats.
Much love to you you show people what they can do if they open their brains and not keep their head in the phones thank you so much for an enlightened video to utilize the resources around you and make things happen from the imagination of one's Inner self great project
Definitely going to adopt some of your designs, but instead of coolers down the center, I’m going to use a cheap kayak. The added pontoons will make it un-flipable! Liked and subbed, thanks for the cool content!
Very cool! Might have to copy! The cross pieces going through the coolers could be 2 inch pipe to save room in the cooler. Just insert 4' x 2' bushings before going through the cooler!
I think an improvement would be a flat awning to replace the umbrella and move the solar panel onto the awning. I can't imagine you would be getting very much value from the solar panel with all the shading above it.
Looks nice . I hope that u sealed the coolers back after drilling holes and I'm not a fan of using hot glue as any heat will reheat it and it will be useless.
Maybe one day I will be able to do something like that, for now it's just a dream. I think most of my neighbors believe that I am crazy :) Thanks for the comments!
It would be nice to have a list of the items you needed for the project and cut list but over all very good video something new out there no one has done i will subscribe
Very ingenuous! Congratulations for all your projects. Do you thing that is possible to share us a project with dimensions for this cool water vehicle? Thank you in advance.
Thank you for your interest, I am currently working on the book with all of the details of this boat. I can let you know when it is up on Amazon if you like? Thank you for the question.
You could make it wider with 3 more coolers, or 6 more smaller coolers. You could add another seat with another row of coolers. Might have to double up on the pontoons. Definitely needs more power. Might struggle in any kind of current. Excellent idea and solid execution though. Cheers!
@@supergokue1 pretty good for a lake or pond . in south florida guys used kayaks to deep sea fish with and would catch sailfish . they let the fish pull them around and tire itself out ,then reeled it in .
I actually love Water World (I don't care if anyone disagrees) but I can just imagine a humungus white trimaran and Jeanne Tripplehorn in that outfit chillin with a glass of champagne, life doesn't get much better than that, make that quadruplehorn if you know what I mean lads 👍
Awesome of course, genius... Why has NO one mentioned how it looks like a Star Trek Next Generation Shuttle Craft? You can go as simple or as 'Borg'-ed out as you wish. Jimmy 'James Doohan would have saluted you and miracle workers everywhere, thank you for sharing your gifts and talents.
@@supergokue1 Live long and ask GOD why would HE require a Starship, when we only know a hot tubs size of knowledge that is Our Planet, our true Starship.
Good job! Greetings from Bulgaria! I really like those last modifications. You could be think about some small keel. And also you can made something like a lite spoilers for the pontоones/easy from empty 20l. buckets and hotairpistol/ This will improve the speed and control of the boat.Again :i like what you do. Go ahead and have fun.
I think if you used the front cooler as a live well, you may need extra floatation in the front to cope with the weight, or.... make sure the drinks cooler is full as a counterweight. 😀 looks great though. Well done!
From one geration to the generetion materials were was always there. Nothing new (material) that came from other planets but was the matter of discovery. Great work bro!!! 🙌🙌🙏
This is really ingenious! I would have used trex on the running boards and backed up all the frame attachments to the coolers with silicone. I might try to make one of these. +1 sub & like.
Or sheets of coroplast as multiwasher I would use coroplast iinstead of particle board too like other builds And if you tale ends and add a sealant over tape or sealant over whole thing the coroplast itself would be bouyant.....buy white to match and it will look nicer too (on other build not this one)
I love the design! One thing you could do to give yourself more space would be to lay some decking down over the frame. Then you could put a ledge around it and you would be able to bring more rods or a live well. One other easier mod you could do is get some track mounts and mount them right to the top of that front cooler then you could get a track mounted cup holder and whatever else you might want to mount up there. Great video man!
Nice work! Very interesting.. I would maybe consider relocating the batteries to the back cooler if possible. It may help to pull the nose of the craft out of the water a little and hopefully help it with forward motion. Just a thought.
I'm curious the reasoning behind the large PVC for frame. Does it provide buoyancy or just structural? doesn't seem to be airtight... an itemized list with costs would be helpful. Nice build, thanks.
Well, to be honest the larger pipe is just aesthetics. I could of used 2 inch pipe, but I thought it just looked better (more beefy). On the list of parts, I will be working on the e-book this weekend and hope to have it done real soon. I can let you know when it is on Amazon if you like? Thanks for the questions
Ever thought about selling plans for these? I would love to build one for a small lake we fish or if you feel generous you could just email them to me for free 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome...but feels 1 cooler short on the front and a longer pontoon floats and a bit more out for a bit more leg step room...but AWESOME!!!...btw can the PVCs be fillec with some kind of foam to make it more floaty???
I have found that spray foam adds a bunch of weight. I have been looking into using plastic water bottles or packing peanuts. Thank you for the suggestion and the question, I really appreciate it!
Cool initiative with practical application for fun fishing but I imagine your mates will want one so you might be embarking on a niche enterprise. However, looks like you are going to have a ton of fun Cheers from PTT
GOOD Job! Of course, there are mods I would have done differently. I would have opted for much larger solar panels and put them overhead instead of an umbrella. And certainly a larger trolling motor. In fact, about 25 years ago I did something similar by putting PVC pontoons on a 8ft aluminum jon boat, for stability and put in halogen lights pointing down. Later, I did this with a 14 ft Aluminum boat. We used it at night all over a huge resiviour and it worked great, with a decent trolling speed. (No solar panels, because they were far too expensive.) I have an IDEA that a boat with two outrigging pontoons swivel fixed and a hydraulic system that forces any direction the boat or either pontoon moves... causes the propeller to turn on a certain direction and speed. This would allow the waves to power the boat and additional Solar Panels with trolling motors to increase speed. This is just theory as I have not undertaken the task of a model...yet. I would put on two trolling motors each independently operated by foot controls. (I still have the 2 trolling motors.) Inspired? Let me know as I would like to build it, but I am disabled.
I have a upgrade video coming out real soon, as soon as the water warms up. I did make a few changes, some of which you mentioned. Very creative ideas, thank you!
@@supergokue1 Actually the pontoons are the motors. If applied force came from only one direction or would cancel itself. However when the forces being applied come from all directions and routed to just one direction propulsion should be 'effectively" achieved. The only 2 ways this may not work... 1: completely stagnant water (no force availavle) 2: The actions of both pontoons and the boat are synchronized. Both of these instances are not only rare but any synchronized actions between the boat and pontoons are achieved at a perfect distance... which of course is adjustable. This leaves but one remaining problem and has plagued me... dead calm. Even that can be rectified as I have no roots preventing relocation, except transportation which I am in the process of fixing. (I have a Schoolie I was turning into a motorhome and a car and a motorcycle and a Go Cart. However, health issues prevent me from regaining my driver's license. Hence the Go Kart. (The parts to build it are here or in transit.) But it needs to be specifically built. Top speed... 6 MPH, but with an exception...allowing say; 50 MPH. It will also be Bush Craft Survival capabilities to which I already possess everything needed. Besides this project, I also have a 4 Cylinder Engine with a massive 7 moving parts...total. (that does not include things such as air conditioner, alternator or parts in such things as the Carburator (To which I also have a design to greatly enhance fuel economy.) I am a self-taught scientist/engineer and through watching me... my Son persued that further and is a store-bought college Scientist/Engineer. The infernal (internal) combustion engine's most eminence problem is that engineers have complicated the workings of engines instead of simplifying them. Some of the different perspectives I use... the ICE (internal combustion engine) uses all of the oxygen it is given but not all of the fuel, so, what if we reversed that? Scientists/Engineers claim that frictions from such areas as the camshaft and valves is too minimal to get great enhancement by reduction or elimination... I say they are wrong. In fact, my engine has no valves, nor camshaft, nor distributor, nor timing chain. There is no rocker arms, pushrods... the 4 cylinder engine has but 2 pistons and 2 connecting rods. It is also a two stroke with a minimal bore size but long stroke distance. There are no piston rings, oil rings as they simply are not needed. Yes, there is BlowBy but it is recollected, reduced and diverted as per the configuration of the piston's profile. It was only after gasoline's reduction of Octane, enhanced oils and some other occurances that allowed much of this to work. I had built a working model in the late 90's and was working on it when other (un-for-seeable) engagements utterly stopped my advancements and then, health issues that have continued to prevent this quest. And... then there is one other issue of paramount significance that for now, I deem it's relationship necessary to be kept a secret (the connecting element, in whose relationship is but... time.) Stick around and all can be revealed. See, as of Augast 2004 these quests have taken a back seat for development. I never chased money anyway, which means I really don't care if others discover my ingenuity and design secrets... which actually (if possible) is of great reward for someone wanting to know and has the same drawback... time.
I agree, the batteries are way too expensive. I tried to get a few battery companies to help me out, but no one seemed to be interested. I will keep trying, you never know. Thanks for the comment.
If it wasn't for sponsors or you literally having an exponential amount of resources laying around your house, you could have bought a way better boat for what it cost you to build that and you know it. That being said I loved it dude
This is got to be the coolest damn boat I`ve ever seen or seen built !! I`m very interested in watching in on your next build . Further more I`m defintely going to build me one these .
Wow! I do like your creative boat so much! Great for fishing at once! Can you come do a business with me in Thailand? Thai peoples are very crazy about fishing! Honestly, I pray to God to make the way for me to meet this creative guy!
Chiang Mai city where I live, and it’s on the north of Thailand. Have you ever been to our Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai city? It’s a tourist destination!
@@arunsirikiatkit6590 We have not been there yet, but my wife and I own property in the Philippines. The next time we are there, we hope to be able to visit Thailand. I have seen many pictures of Chiang Mai, and it looks beautiful.
You are right about the cup holder. I did fix that issue in the upgrade video coming out in a few weeks. Thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it :)
Love your idea, curious what you put out on supplies sort of the motor, batteries & solar re-charger. IDK if you're getting water in where your nuts and bolts go through your PVC pipes but a suggestion for you a close that off that probably is better than trying to silicon caulk it... Spray bottle of foam insulation. Expands in the pipe to fill the space, keeps out the water and lends itself as flotation as well or better than the air space.
Is there any chance you would share a list of materials and build instructions? I’d like to build one but not so gifted with “how to”. Great idea! Love the videos.
My dad and I built a similar boat back in the 70's. We found that the more pointy the bow, the better it cut through the water. This looks like fun.
I do need to work on that, thanks for the tip!

What a cute umbrella ~~ Well done ~~~great job!
Thank you, I really appreciate it :)
Maybe adding expansion foam in the PVC wouldn’t be a bad idea for extra buoyancy
pure genius! it keeps getting better and better with every build. looking forward to more creations
Very cool, thank you for the compliment!
By the time you add up the cost with time invested getting parts and assembly, you could have purchased one and been using it .
Thank you for the comment.
But then you don't get the satisfaction that comes with having designed and built it yourself.
True but no satisfaction.
I love the design! One thing you could do to give yourself more space would be to lay some decking down over the frame. Then you could put a ledge around it and you would be able to bring more rods or a live well.

Awe man..! Me Watched, Me Learned, And Man.., Me Likes!✊✊👍👍☝️☝️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸!!!
Cool, I'm glad you liked it :)
GOOD Job! Of course, there are mods I would have done differently.
I would have opted for much larger solar panels and put them overhead instead of an umbrella. And certainly a larger trolling motor. In fact, about 25 years ago I did something similar by putting PVC pontoons on a 8ft aluminum jon boat, for stability and put in halogen lights pointing down. Later, I did this with a 14 ft Aluminum boat. We used it at night all over a huge resiviour and it worked great, with a decent trolling speed. (No solar panels, because they were far too expensive.)
I have an IDEA that a boat with two outrigging pontoons swivel fixed and a hydraulic system that forces any direction the boat or either pontoon moves... causes the propeller to turn on a certain direction and speed. This would allow the waves to power the boat and additional Solar Panels with trolling motors to increase speed. This is just theory as I have not undertaken the task of a model...yet.
I would put on two trolling motors each independently operated by foot controls. (I still have the 2 trolling motors.) Inspired? Let me know as I would like to build it, but I am disabled.
I have a upgrade video coming out real soon, as soon as the water warms up. I did make a few changes, some of which you mentioned. Very creative ideas, thank you!
@@supergokue1 Actually the pontoons are the motors. If applied force came from only one direction or would cancel itself. However when the forces being applied come from all directions and routed to just one direction propulsion should be 'effectively" achieved. The only 2 ways this may not work... 1: completely stagnant water (no force availavle) 2: The actions of both pontoons and the boat are synchronized. Both of these instances are not only rare but any synchronized actions between the boat and pontoons are achieved at a perfect distance... which of course is adjustable. This leaves but one remaining problem and has plagued me... dead calm. Even that can be rectified as I have no roots preventing relocation, except transportation which I am in the process of fixing. (I have a Schoolie I was turning into a motorhome and a car and a motorcycle and a Go Cart. However, health issues prevent me from regaining my driver's license. Hence the Go Kart. (The parts to build it are here or in transit.) But it needs to be specifically built. Top speed... 6 MPH, but with an exception...allowing say; 50 MPH. It will also be Bush Craft Survival capabilities to which I already possess everything needed.
Besides this project, I also have a 4 Cylinder Engine with a massive 7 moving parts...total. (that does not include things such as air conditioner, alternator or parts in such things as the Carburator (To which I also have a design to greatly enhance fuel economy.) I am a self-taught scientist/engineer and through watching me... my Son persued that further and is a store-bought college Scientist/Engineer.
The infernal (internal) combustion engine's most eminence problem is that engineers have complicated the workings of engines instead of simplifying them. Some of the different perspectives I use... the ICE (internal combustion engine) uses all of the oxygen it is given but not all of the fuel, so, what if we reversed that? Scientists/Engineers claim that frictions from such areas as the camshaft and valves is too minimal to get great enhancement by reduction or elimination... I say they are wrong. In fact, my engine has no valves, nor camshaft, nor distributor, nor timing chain. There is no rocker arms, pushrods... the 4 cylinder engine has but 2 pistons and 2 connecting rods. It is also a two stroke with a minimal bore size but long stroke distance. There are no piston rings, oil rings as they simply are not needed. Yes, there is BlowBy but it is recollected, reduced and diverted as per the configuration of the piston's profile. It was only after gasoline's reduction of Octane, enhanced oils and some other occurances that allowed much of this to work. I had built a working model in the late 90's and was working on it when other (un-for-seeable) engagements utterly stopped my advancements and then, health issues that have continued to prevent this quest. And... then there is one other issue of paramount significance that for now, I deem it's relationship necessary to be kept a secret (the connecting element, in whose relationship is but... time.)
Stick around and all can be revealed. See, as of Augast 2004 these quests have taken a back seat for development. I never chased money anyway, which means I really don't care if others discover my ingenuity and design secrets... which actually (if possible) is of great reward for someone wanting to know and has the same drawback... time.
The people those who disliked him are zombies 😉
I am not a zombie and i disliked the video.
I think that they sell Zodiac inflatables?
Loved the idea. The music ruined the video
@@_Yep_Yep_ Zombies cannot see their reflections, so how could a Zomie recognize himself? L0L
They are just haters, but you only get those when you doing great things. If you have no haters, then you aren't doing anything good.
Супер! Бюджетно и практично на малых водоемах! И легкий-непотопляемый!
Thank you for the compliment!
По поводу бюджетности очень спорно, да и с практичной стороны не мало вопросов.
@@girman36 Совершенно верно, он в магазине строительно не был.
Good job! R U sure ur not ex-military, U R methodical in your construction, a “Seabee” perhaps?
I was never in the military, but thank you for the high compliment :)
I just LOVE this little boat!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool, I'm glad you liked it :)
its so sad he cant get the batteries he wanted
I agree, the batteries are way too expensive. I tried to get a few battery companies to help me out, but no one seemed to be interested. I will keep trying, you never know. Thanks for the comment.
If it wasn't for sponsors or you literally having an exponential amount of resources laying around your house, you could have bought a way better boat for what it cost you to build that and you know it. That being said I loved it dude
Thank you for you answer. I can’t wait to see your video with the add wheels
Cool, it should be out soon. Thanks for the comment!
Good on ya now my son wants me to build one but seriously well done 👍🏻
Thank you for the compliment!
This is got to be the coolest damn boat I`ve ever seen or seen built !! I`m very interested in watching in on your next build . Further more I`m defintely going to build me one these .
This man is a genius!
I wish, but thank you for the compliment :)
Wow! I do like your creative boat so much! Great for fishing at once! Can you come do a business with me in Thailand? Thai peoples are very crazy about fishing! Honestly, I pray to God to make the way for me to meet this creative guy!
You never know, my wife and I travel Asia every couple of years. What part of Thailand are you from?
Chiang Mai city where I live, and it’s on the north of Thailand. Have you ever been to our Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai city? It’s a tourist destination!
@@arunsirikiatkit6590 We have not been there yet, but my wife and I own property in the Philippines. The next time we are there, we hope to be able to visit Thailand. I have seen many pictures of Chiang Mai, and it looks beautiful.
Put cargo netting between the pontoon but above the water. Light weight and very practical for additional storage
Cool idea, thank you!
Cool! Now that's using your spare time for a fun, cool project!!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it :)
Great job! Looks like a fun little boat!
Cool, I'm glad you liked it!
That is pretty cool. I don't fish, but with something like that I'd take an interest.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked the boat!
Nice job Dude!
Like the innovation
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Awesome! One major flaw though. I didn't see a cup holder LOL. Truly genius. 👍👍
You are right about the cup holder. I did fix that issue in the upgrade video coming out in a few weeks. Thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it :)
Love your idea, curious what you put out on supplies sort of the motor, batteries & solar re-charger.
IDK if you're getting water in where your nuts and bolts go through your PVC pipes but a suggestion for you a close that off that probably is better than trying to silicon caulk it... Spray bottle of foam insulation. Expands in the pipe to fill the space, keeps out the water and lends itself as flotation as well or better than the air space.
I will look into it, thanks for the suggestions :)
very impressive , waw great video . Thank you so much
Cool, glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks this a simple boat for fisherman.
I appreciate that, thank you!
You could put netting on the pontoon openings for storage and possibly a wet well !?
That is a great idea, thank you!
Is there any chance you would share a list of materials and build instructions? I’d like to build one but not so gifted with “how to”. Great idea! Love the videos.
Thank you for the great question, the book is available on Amazon. Here is the link www.amazon.com/dp/B095SYWLYP
