Step 1: Framing it up
Materials are mostly from Home Depot. Pressure treated lumber is used for the skeleton. and yes, most of it is the non toxic kind. I don't know if it will stand up in the
water as well as the old stuff used to though.

Step 2: Floatilla
About 2400 soda bottles in two wood pontoons float this beast. I tried to do some buoyancy calculations by estimating final mass and volume. And I predicted that it
would float about 50 percent of the boat below the surface. I was right.

I love it.
How long did it take in total and what is the total cost?

Gotcha! I thought the pics were while it was being dismantled and I assumed that was partially broken down.

Sound about right for 35 gallons. Why weight it down? just let it float higher.

These relationships are the beauty of the metric system and why it's used exclusively in the sciences.
Try and estimate how much the boat will weigh (in grams) and the volume of the pontoon part in cubic cm. and see if your
density is greater or less than 1.

Question - Why not just go the extra few feet and seal the pontoons rather than having a cage design to hold the bottles?
Seems like a real nice design - personally after all the work you put into it - closing in the pontoons and sealing the edges with 4" fiberglass tape and sealing
the wood would have been a simpler solution. Cost more - but easier in the long run.
Unless i'm missing something in the design - this probably would help with the drag and you could pick up a knot or two as well as vessel lift.
Neat though - for sure! thanks for sharing
