    First thing on his design is twin sofas. You would think that the initial design elements would be those of a nautical nature, you know, the things that make a boat safe and prevent people from like, drowning. This should be good. The first outing of the other boat ended in dry dock for like 2 years, and once repaired, it sank. Building boats is a great idea.

    Please, Chris, PLEASE run this by a naval engineer. There’s a reason pontoon and house boats are built the way they are. The last thing you need is another boat sinking, or worse, one loaded with all your friends. This is serious stuff, and the Willamette/Columbia Rivers you want to take this on are deadly.
    You should also get this certified by the Coast Guard with a vessel number (which I think is required for registration anyway).
    All of this should done anyway if you actually plan to produce these things for people to buy, which sounds like a liability nightmare.

    2. if you use deck squares with compatible furniture you can reconfigure the seating to your heats desire.
    3. a quad toon like this wont be stable offshore. it probably wont be stable in the columbia river.
    4. this will turn like a pig, if it turns at all. look into bow thrusters.
    have you considered running this by a naval architect? its going to be expensive to find out that it doesnt work. :(

    For advise, I have a double decker premier pontoon. Things I really like:
    1- helm in under the hard top
    2- seating for guest near the helm . ( I had another pontoon where the seats were a little further, was feeling out of the party sometimes)
    I would allow clear views of the back of the boat from helm, maybe have stairs on opposite side
    Have front of the boat lighter, maybe move hot tub back. Everyone seems to hang in the sun , makes waves splash over board . Hard to make toons plane as well.
    Think about weight distribution, mine is a little offset to one side. More seating on one side makes the boat lean when everyone sits .
    Just some advice from my few years of having pontoon of all kind
    Great project!!!

    My biggest concern (aside from not building it right next to the water) is the loads on the pontoons. That break between those “chines” will be a point of extreme stress (20 feet of moment fore and aft). Maybe use 5 pontoons.

    • @mmccon2007
      @mmccon2007 Před měsícem +1

      My thoughts exactly! It makes for a "bendy spot" where it will stress the welds and the metal skin itself. There's likely a good reason they do not make pontoons that long.

    Add some solid topsides around the bow area to give it some lift and prevent it burying the bow into waves, especially with the weight of that hot tub so far forward you'll bury it straight into a wave or chop and have it wash right through the boat, go watch some videos of people doing that on pontoon boats

    There are two big advantages to having out boards. #1: The maintenance is way easier than in I/O or inboard. #2: When you're handling that beast near the dock the ability to look back and see exactly what the angle of your engines is a major help at avoiding a crunch. I would rethink putting your engines under a cover.

    you forgot to include clean, gray, and black water tanks in your design. i think it would be cooler to ditch the hot tub and have that space be like a moon pool where you can just chill in that space, even have heaters warm the immediate water in that area. maybe even a net to keep fish and stuff from encroaching on people chilling there

    Chris,
    This type of build has been on my mind for a few years now. I think it's going to be great. although watching your first video on getting started I have a couple of observations I would like to point out.
    First. the L brackets you pointed out offer more than just a stabilizer when at anchor. They offer rigidity to the length of the toon. I think you should consider extending this across your weld several feet in both directions to reinforce your butt joint. Relying on your weld at midpoint of your PB (Party Barge) will be an opportunity for a failure. Also, you should consider running calculations on your displacement for the toons. Even though you offer four of them for floatation mostly at the rear, your design is going to allow for a great deal of weight (especially when loaded).
    I noticed you have what appear to be twin mercs in their crate. (Probably in excess of 200hp). A lot of motor for a PB (Remember your building a tooner not a tunnel hull) I get it, it's fun to go fast but under those strains and stresses you want to be safe first.
    The hot tub idea again is fun, but it's in the front of your design. too much weight. (Figure this. water is 8.33Lbs per gal. a regular hot tub will hold approximately 300 to 350 gallons. 8.33 X 350 = 2,915Lbs in the front of your design. don't know that one.
    what about holding tanks, Water, fuel, black water... where are they going to be located, underneath I assume. need space for them.
    Helm where is your helm station? this can be something simple, but you still need a captain's chair. (Think Fly by wire for everything)
    And lastly, remember this needs to be insured, your design will need to be approved by an overseeing authority the USCG, country / state marine enforcement ect.
