  • I just need to say Kyle is doing a great job.
  • "It's not compressing the wood like people were worried about" That's because you haven't begun to get water absorption and wet/dry cycling. It will happen 👉OVER TIME👈 and the mounts will fail at some point down the road. Please cut that wedge of wood out and replace it with delrin or something that doesn't deflect or compress like wet wood will.
  • You should sleeve the bolts going through the aluminum tubing so it doesn't collapse the tubing. Also I remembered that from the lotus build you need some type of sealant/adhesive between the steel and aluminum to prevent galvanic corrosion which I can imagine would be 10 times worse on something on the water.
  • As an aerospace structural engineer, I am concerned about the lateral strength of the steel structure. Especially, after you put furniture and people on the 2nd floor. I think you need much strength attachments to the floor. What you did is a good start, but I think you need a much stronger joint to react the moment at the base.
  • "I'm Not An Engineer" needs to be put on a "B is for Build" T-Shirt.
  • Build a nice trash can to put in front of the consol and fill the void
  • A small cabinet in front of the helm would be an excellent place for a lot of the safety gear required by the Coast Guard like a flare, fire extinguisher, an EPIRB , maybe a small handheld radio for emergencies. Then just scatter life vests in the seat storages around the boat and you're set. Would also make inspections easier if it's all in one place, because you know they'll wanna stop you just to check out the largest pontoon they've ever seen lol.
  • I would place a icebox in the empty space in the front. Perfect place to leave your bottle or your drinks cold out in the front. 🎉🎊
  • Don't forget to paint the underside of the feet where it bolts to the wood on the lower deck. And make sure you put some sort of isolator to keep any steel in contact with aluminum. That way you don't have any dissimilar metal corrosion.Painting the steel is not enough to stop that. Steel and aluminum do not like each other.
  • Dont forget galvanic corrosion between the steel and alumnimum.
  • @HJW018
    Space between the seat and the pilot console is perfect for life preserver storage.
  • With everything off deck, Roll carpet over entire floor, Then install everything over carpet. Same as pontoon,camper/RV manufactures do. No BS cutting.
  • I think the name should be "Double Decker Pecker Wrecker" 😂😂
  • You have a problem, the strength of the steel plates and bolts vs the strength of the aluminum tubes. Because of the torsional (side) forces you’re going to be having, along with the twisting forces when the boat is no longer supported by a concrete floor. There’s going to be some deformation of the super structure. Please be careful during your sea trials and when you get on the gas in a turn.
  • I recommend gusseting those posts in 3 ways. Strengthen lateral movement
  • that miscalculated small space in front of the captain pit/steer can be used for fire extinguisher
  • Just a quick one when welding tubes or box section drill a small hole in the tube, it lets the air escape when it expands (heat) and stops blowing out your welds, also use the small holes to squirt wax oil inside to protect the tubs and bars on the weld joints from the inside
  • @ndk2k4
    isnt the bottom of where the metal is bolted to the wood bare metal? any plans to unbolt it and paint the bottom of those baseplates?
