I posted about water wagons in the tube room, but I saw several on the fort worth fly fishing website and I thought one of you might know where to get one. I saw several in the gallery section. I always seem to loose air in my tube and wanted to try something different that didn't require a pump. They had one called "the kicker" at there auction in 2006. Any ideas? ANY PICTURES of a water wagon or Styrofoam kickboat? sorry about the rambling. juggle

I used to have one but traded it for a fly rod to pearow down in Athens TX.

Wish I knew if anyone still made them. But I don't.

Just make your own. It is not hard. My buddy and I roughed our first one out in about 30 min. We had to talk about it then draw on it several times take a cold drink break or two. You just need a piece of styro not less than 10" thick. We used saws(get the finest tooth saw you can find), but it would not be as messy if you took the time to make a hot knife/wire.

How has it been holding up? I think that those could be quite the ticket for a lot of freshwater fly fishing.

And what was your source of a big old chunk of styrofoam? Inquiring minds want to know..... smile

dallasflyfisher on texas fly report has a Hobie Float Cat 75, I will bet he will have to go down(way down) , I would bid on it but I am full of boats. I had the one Robin traded and a hobie is a great fishing machine.

Holding up great! I just never store in outside(sunlight frown ) They are soooo much better than a tube. Lots of room to store gear/snacks. You only need hip waders when cold and shorts when warm. They sit you about 2 feet higher than a tube and NEVER leak air. Right now my fly fishing buddy found several pieces on his route that where going to be trashed. As far as a place to buy some I would try a google search, call local boat dealer, or check with a marina.

thanks Lee. That is mainly why I swapped mine off, it had to live outside and was not going to last very well out there I could tell at once. So I sent it to a better home and got a sweet pearow two weight in it's place.

I have an outside storage building for mine and my buddy hangs his flat on the ceiling of his garage with bungy straps and I-hooks. I just love these things. They are much faster than a tube.

I bet they are, I bet they are. It actually startles me a bit they they have been no more popular than they are.

I know next to nothing about working with styrofoam but it seems like it ought not be that hard to build a mold and pour some of those things

No, I think it would be MUCH easier to buy, because it has to be closed cell styro. The raw product is easy to work if you do not get in a big hurry. We used a Skillsaw to make the first cut to each side and finished the cut with a hand saw. Found this in the tube section http://www.thermafoam.com/dock_flotation.html

The measurements that I have on mine are not law by any means. It just fit in my Ford ranger better cut to those DIM. Yes we do. I have fished off of 1 alot smaller. They are VERY stable, even afer a long hot day of slow fish action and hot cold can action crazy

Here is a tip. Pearow, over on Texas Fly Report, told me that he a couple of these babies that he has painted with mobile home roof paint to prevent the Styrofoam from degrading.

Basically all you need is some way to protect the foam from the sun if you want it to last for several years. I'd consider many different products from paint to cloth to wood. The simplest would be paint or maybe truck bed liner but you do have to be aware of how each type of chemical might react with the foam..

Just go over to East Texas, you can find it anywhere over there, even in the drug stores - mobile homes in east Texas are considered upscale mansions. thumb

Gosh where I fish dunno if you'd impress too many gals with that kick boat thing. Now if it had a lawn chair, cooler and trollin motor that'd be a different story.
Saw a picture of one just like that once and I thought it was a joke. Shows how much I know.
Try styro foam insulation sheets and liquid nail them together to get thick enough.

Seriously, I was going to make one out of styro sheets for the kids and I to use at the lake. Seems pretty indestructable. And not alot invested if something happens to it.

Here's what I got from pearow over on TFR

Quote:
Dont remember what its called but its a paint used to coat the roof of mobile homes, both as a sealant and as a heat reflector; The paint can instructions say that it will adhere to stayrafoam; name is something like "cool-seal"; about $18 bucks a gallon if I remember correctly. A gallon will do two water wagons with 2 coats each

Snow coat on ace hardware site, It just has to be water based from what the styrafoam guy told me. Good, thank you. I'm going to get the foam today to get started soon. I will make 2, a little smaller than above.

OK here is where I got the styrafoam. Sister company of the one listed on this or the tube room thread except it is in Dallas(Oak Cliff) not hillsboro. It is made in 4X8X4 blocks but you can get it made to the size you want. I bought a 4x8x12" for $96.00. I think 9"or 10" thickness would be better. The 2 boats I made are 53"x48"x12" and draft about 3" with me sitting on it in a pool.(I'm 6'3" 260lbs). best wishes to all.

Still have to cut a drink cup holder, a place for a small plastic compartment box, and a couple holes to hold rods and then paint it. I am electronically challenged with posting pictures but when I am done I will get the daughter to try and post pictures.

Flickr and most of the other image hosting sites have that service so in case you already have an image hosting account, dig around for the mobile upload tool. It'll usually give you an email address to send images to.

I took the picture with my phone, emailed it to my wife, son downloaded it, and then he put it up here. Don't ask me how?

Hi

The reason it's on your computer seems to be because the photo is located on your computer at C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\miniboat.jpg

For it to appear on the forum it'll need to be hosted on an image hosting site like Flickr or Photobucket etc.

That is some good looking work there, really fine! It's obvious that you put a lot of work into those kickboats.

I had to copy and paste that URL into a browser address to see it. A guy showed me that on Flickr, ya have to click on the all sizes button at the top of the picture, choose a size and the copy that URL to display.

here's a pic or two of my kick boat; I use a cheap stadium seat; the two ropes tied to the foot rail support the back, as i am old and fat
