Why did so many youtubers go away from this style of build series? I MUCH prefer a video like this, where a video is an entire step in the project.
Like it or hate it, anyone watching feels much more invested in a build like this!

I reiterate in case my last post on this subject got missed; PLEASE put a substantial railing on the very front of the boat, because if one of those "drinking/partying" friends slips overboard at the front, they will likely NOT survive the trip under the entire 44 feet + props at the back. The MOST dangerous place to fall off a pontoon boat is where you CANNOT swim clear of the impending consequences. PLEASE think about this.

Next time leave a section on both sides of the seam loose, over lap them and cut them together. Makes a perfect matting seam, like on a speaker box.

Am I the only one waiting for Chris to round the corners on the front? I swear he likes his stuff just a little dangerous for the average person 😂 I would hit that corner all the time because I naturally gravitate towards corners like I'm clipping an apex

[BloodCover]

I probably would have gone sideways with more seams, but I give it to you for taking on the long seam, definitely challenging at 40’

Most pontoon boats are built @ 8 feet 6 inches because that is the maximum legal width allowed on any roadway or highway. Anything above 8'6 or 14' tall or 75' length or 80, 000 pounds if any one or combination exceeds the maximum number it is now a oversized load and need to be moved by a trucking company that specializes in oversized loads. For B is for build case a yacht transport company.

I totally agree with you on the price of screws. The screw company is really screwing us over on the price of screws these days.

2:19 Well played, Chris. Well played! lol

[MicahRaj]

I don't have a good feeling about this boat when it gets in the water., but hoping for the best.

[knightmare]

As a once boat builder I would have gone with the first roll right down the center of the boat with two thinner seams down both sides covered mostly by furniture and the bar area. This would have covered the tub doors, the pattern would have matched perfectly and you just have to cut them out, this would have left visibly zero seams.

[Keegan_Co]

You should add another trim line on the other side for symmetry even if it's not hiding a seam

I’d hope that you’re using a type of screw that’s better in a marine environment than a common deck screw. Galvanics is a huge issue for boats. Slowing its effects costs a fair amount.

[jimbojenkins]

That thing is a monster pontoon, you should name it monsoon.😂

[JesseRoamsFree]

My 20’ pontoon boat has the same carpet and I love it! Very easy to clean the sand off too!

[shirahorse]

Amazing to see! I use it too. It solved every problem I had with my business.

[georgeelliott]

I found your page because of your first boat and love that you're building another one. I binge watched this series today it was so good. I also neglected doing any renovations for my house because of it. Lol. It was that good. I can't wait to watch the rest of the series.

I have a recommendation: 1. Air compressor for watertubes, cleaning, and all. Have it towards the back and have air hookups front, middle, and rear or have a air hose reel.

Fiberglass Coatings has always been helpful for all your Fiberglass and marine epoxy and foam needs

[Jeanluc]

Hoping that you glue the joins for the conduit, so that water doesn't get into the wiring.

Wait did you waterproof the bottom of the plywood that will be exposed to the water? Even if it is marine plywood the constant exposure to water is going to rot that in no time. Also the seams between the boards is going to get wet and ruined in 2 months.
