pontoon boat build- on hold, but some progress

[desertmoose]

Since I pulled my shoulder, I've been out of commission and benched to the living room couch. But, I though I'd show what I got done on the pontoons before I got hurt.

After covering the floats with the bedsheet, I added a heavy canvas doubler to the bottom to take some wear.

Turned out a 2" overlap up the sides was able to form over the edges without wrinkles.







I used up odds and ends of paint I had to fill the weave in the sheets. colors are whatever bit of paint was left over.



For a finish color, I used up the green paint I got for the stripe on the teardrop. Here's the first side drying before flipping to paint the other.



Kat picked a bright red for hers. Put her to work painting her own floats.





Think they turned out OK. If this shoulder ever quits hurting so I can get back in the shop, I'll weld up the seat/ attaching framework. At least the paint will be dry when I start working on them again. (already been three weeks)

Those look awesome! I see some outriggers for the canoe in my future.

They look professionally built, now.

Notice the nice CLEAN lines on the edges of the covering .... Maybe sam will tell us how he was able to keep it so neat and “professional “ looking ?
