Bernie Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 A buddy E-mailed this to me. I wonder if Gerritt, Joe and Bill will help me throw one together when they come up. FLOATING GAZEBO I was going to build the Gazebo on the edge of my dock down by the lake but I thought ...I might just as well build the deck with floats on it and I can then take it out fishing too. Has 15,000# capacity. The deck is 18ft x 18ft with 12 plastic foam filled dock floats that are 4ft x 4ft by 18 inch. high. and the Gazebo is 10 ft. Hexago n with a table and chairs inside. Under the table is my trolling motor so I can take it out to my favorite fishing hole. The trolling motor is remote controlled wireless so I can be fishing outside and operate the motor. On the top of the table I have a LOWRANCE Fish-Finder with depth sounding sonars and temp gauge. I have 2 electric winches with 40# anchors. I have also built in a water pump so I can clean the fish right on the spot. Now I can relax and fish while my wife can sit and relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranks bait Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 There is a guy near here that has done something like this with his pontoon boat. It's got a nice wood railing. Loaded with a kitchen table and a sofa. I had to do a double take when I saw it. Wish I got a picture. I'll try and find him again this year.

irishfield Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Just remember.. if it has it's own motor it becomes a boat and has to meet all regs. But if you tie your tinny to the side and pull it around with that... it's just a barge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuchikubo Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 That's cool, but I looks like it would be a bit of a pain to take out of the water at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Too many other projects to build something like this right now. But maybe in the future....... This summer I am overhauling an old dry boathouse into a sleep cabin....Need it to put Gerritt in. It will be far enough away Joe won't need to listen to him snore.
