First Step: Determining The Size of boat you want, with everything you want on it.

1) desired length

2) desired width

3) number of pontoons; 2, 3 or more.

2 pontoons are safer when the waves are normally / often more than 18" high

4) application ( fishing / family pleasure / barge / houseboat / floating cottage etc. )

5) To figure out the weight capacity, and the diameter of the pontoons, you will need to know:

EXAMPLE ~ 24" x 20' x 8' boat kit

weight of the boat kit ~ we will supply this info.--------------------------------------------------= 650 lbs
3/4" x 4' x 8' Marine Grade Plywood / Composite is about 80 lbs. / sheet x 5 -------= 400 lbs.
weight of the motor------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------= 150 lbs.
weight of the people-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------= 750 lbs.
weight of the std. railing is about 2.5 lbs. / linear ft.----------------------------------------------= 140 lbs.
weight of the aluminum steering console & steering system is about 50 lbs.---------= 50 lbs.
weight of the seating----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------= 300 lbs.
weight of other options such as a sundeck = 300 lbs.------------------------------------------= No
3/4" x 4' x 8' Marine Grade Plywood for the sundeck 80 lbs. x 2.5 = 200 lbs.--------= No
waste, fresh water and fuel tanks ( approx. size x 10 lbs. / gal.) ---------------------------= 100 lbs.
battery------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------= 60 lbs.
other ~ cooler etc---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------= 40 lbs.
Approximate total weight to be carried ..........................................................= 2640 lbs.

With this above information you will have a good idea of the weight to be carried which will help determine the weight capacity you need and the approx. diameter of pontoons.

We can help you fine tune your input so that you can consider optional length or diameters.
