Cheap Old Pedal Boat - Will It Float or Sink? Paddle Boat from a Summer Camp !
Vložit

- Pedal boat - I bought a very cheap old pedal boat and clean it up to see if it floats. Paddle boats, or paddle wheel pedal powered boats are quite common at summer camps and tourist destinations and I rescued a Sea Venture pedal boat that was sitting in the weeds for years! I power wash the small pedal boat, clean it up and check it out to see if it floats and if this pedal powered boat is functional and works as it should. Is it pedal boat, paddle boat or peddle boat?
What should I do with this pedal boat? Should I get rid of it, restore it, or convert it to electric drive - or do something else with it? This old paddle boat was made by a company called Aventureglass and this pedal boat is a Sea Venture 4 person pedal powered boat commonly found at camps, resorts or tourist places. Who wouldn't love a really cheap old pedal boat?

Nice little boat. I would like to see you restore it (using it for restoration content), keep it for at least a season have it out and enjoy it with the wife, and then sell it when tired of it
Thanks!
Wayne, keep it. We have one, barely use it, but when we want to we do. Bought it for the wife when we lived on the water before we moved. We still use it every now and then... always remember, memories are priceless, and there is no perfect boat, which is why I own many! Hope you are doing well brother. Keep up the videos and if I'm in the area, come and see what boat I'm running at that moment, just like last time!

You just became the coolest neighbor. Im sure you’ll have no problem keeping those seats warm. Enjoy your new boat.
The fun has just begun - Thanks for watching!
Very sweet and cool. Kudos! Definitely keep it, go picnic and fish with it. Enjoy!
Thanks!!
Love it 🥰
Very cool video. 😎 cleaned up nice.
Thanks! Yeah it looks pretty good now
Thats great , its nice to have adult toys , I to have toys from kayaks to petal boat to jon boat. Its nicr to have options and to follow our need to have nautical hobbys . Nice for whatever you want to try. Maybe a quick change vessel from enjoying each other's company on a relaxing cruise to changing it up to soot your needs crabbing fishing bird watching whatever...
I'd hang on to that boat., and turn into a cool fishing boat.
It certainly was a stable platform
HaHaHa, should clean up before show to her, what do think Wayne? :) :) :) Really nice ! Great gift !
got 5 boats wife won’t let me get anymore haha
Restoring it and possibly giving it a name significant to you and yur wife
Also a forward facing trolling motor controlled from either seat with the battery in the rear for balance
Yeah I have been thinking it could replace the tiller control for the rudder.
I've thought about getting one for on the small elec. only reservoirs.Was going to remove the paddles and add a modified trolling motor.I have a 12' Jon so I really don't need one,they're heavier,slower,and less room....
Yeah they are surprisingly heavy!
I'm going to pick up a 4 seat paddle boat tomorrow. (My first boat) it holds 800lbs. it even has a canopy and a built in cooler compartment. for $400 flat I cant beat it. A 12 foot boat definitely has more space, but that's only because they hold two people max. I'm looking forward to drinking beer with 3 friends out by the sandbar for cheap!
@@Dailyfiver The tag on the 12' boat says 3 persons. It only cost $250 and I can load and unload it my self from the bed of a truck,or all 3 of us can carry it a football field to the water if ever need be. There's going to be a hell of a lot less space on that thing with just 2 people than there is on my 12' with 3........but think what you want,there's still a lot that still think Biden is doing good.
@@rider660r well my paddle boat tag says 5 persons but the weight limit reflects more like 4 adults. I bet your boat is the same. It probably holds around 400lb which is two adults. Your John boat is definitely more portable and lightweight though I’ll give you that. I just live a 20 second walk from the boat launch
@@Dailyfiver LOL Well yeah,all boats have a US Coat Guard rating...that's the tag with the amount of people and weight listed.
Mine says somewhere around 500-550,been a while since I looked at it to know the exact weight,but I know it says 3 people.
If you really want to play pissing match with your sandy snatch,I live about a minute from the river that leads into a lake that's 28 miles long 8,000+ acres and up to 200' deep. Then have hundreds of smaller lakes and reservoirs all around. I really don't care if it's 5 seconds or 1 hour trip to the water. You're probably a bAsser also and think they're a incredible fish to catch and have a ton of pics holding your pickle like some Re Re at the carnival that won a stuffed animal....LOL. But they're just a nuisance fish and only thing that is often easier to catch is Gills and Sunnies.
Like I said though, you keep thinking what you want,there are a lot of other dolts out there trying to explain away their idiocy. Sooner or later some figure out how idiotic they are....but many don't.
Yo dude we met on reddit
its funny I've been subscribed to him for a long time and accidentally interacted with him on Reddit recently as well. Small world! lol
What brand pressure washer are using? Wow
Wow bad or wow good?
@@WayneTheBoatGuy Wow Good!
Keep it, put a Trolling motor on it and enjoy your new purchase 😂
( Glad she let you have it 😂)
Well… I do happen to have a little old Shakespeare sitting in the garage.
Put a small 2hp motor and enjoy the places other people can't go and when u have the video go fast to speed up, u look like an old Benny Hill show lol thanks for the videos
Sadly I ended up moving on from this project.
My son bought an old 12ft sailboat. Figured it would be fun to take his wife & two girls out in it. His wife and he went out together for the first voyage. She was too nervous in it and scared. She never went again and forbid the girls from going in it too! So it’s been sitting in the garage under a tarp for about 6 yrs.
Oh my. I can’t imagine how rough that must have been!
150 hp. outboard install???
Can you imagine the stability! Lol.
@@WayneTheBoatGuy Whatever you choose to do have fun with it! Viewing with interest!
Electric motor possibly also solar panel
Not sure did you already sell it
By the way where are you located at
I'm in Todd Mission Texas
Put a motor in it ?
thanks! that might be an upcoming project
Paid $100 for mine, it always starts, no registration, and no launching fees.
Those are great points!
I don't think my wife would be as understanding...
I took her to McDonalds in our first date which basically set the bar for the last 30+ years! 😂
