I have been asked to build a pirate ship. The plan is a 20' aluminum pantoon boat with a cedar pirate ship built on top. No real plan other than a playground wooden pirate ship pic off the net.
So far I found an old Peterboro 20' with everything wrong with it. Stripped everything off and throw in garbage trailor. Put on new cedar 5/4 decking. Looks great. I would love to put the old picnic table on her with a brelly, cooler and fishin' gear, If you know what I mean. I got an old 9.9 johnson sail motor with remote control e.start and all. I'm planning on rigging lights and horn and stuff. The nice dude paying for it, thinks a slide off the back and maybe diving plank somewhere. He wants it for a swim platform in front of his nice cottage on Glouster Pool. It will probly go for 2 or 3 spins a summer.
This is a petty sweet gig if you know what I mean, I want to do it right. Could lead into bigger and better sweet deals ( if you know what I mean).
I would like some thoughts if I'm missing something good to incorparate.
I've mulled over water canons, secret acces up under bow maybe. Sould be a mast with crows nest or something.
What would go good on this?
Thanks, CX
