I made the seat on this one to adjust fort to back to equalize the weight when using a motor or different users. It also swivels so that you can turn your body instead of the boat. I think what I am going to end up with is a hybrid of sorts. My day used a kayak paddle the last time we went out on the folding boat and it work great. I wanted to get this one done to use this weekend but it ant going to happen. I would love to get a small outboard to put on this thing. Did you use cool seal on your foam if so can you get tented another color without any hassle .

I used an elastomeric roof paint by BlackJack from Lowes. Cool Seal has similar, but it was not carried in any of my local retailers. The folks at lowes will tint whatever color you want. Says on the can to use something like 3-onces of tint to one gallon of paint.

how much did it take to cover your boat,

I did two coats with a little under a gallon.

I have not had much time to work on number 4 but here is a little progress, Added a plywood top that will be covered, also a Plano bucket topper is recessed into the Styrofoam. I also recessed a playmate cooler into the foam behind the bucket topper (not in this pic). I may add another bucket topper to the other side and I still need to add the cup holders. It is still a work on progress

pic with the cooler,

ever think about putting a pedal wheel in the front and adding a rudder? It would keep your feet out of the water, and you wouldn't have to worry about registering it.

Getting closer, just need to tear it down finish welding and paint the foam and frame. Added a cup holder and a couple of painted cake pans to the sides to hold stuff. Still need to make some rod holders. and add the retractable wheels to the back.

i have been thinking of a way to use peddel power to turn a prop, i have seen some yacks like that, but i have not worked on it yet, it only cost 37 bucks to register one here in VA. I would loved to find a small outboatd to go on one of these things. I think it would be a blast, trolling moter should be fun too.

Number 4 frame with retractable wheels. Just have to grind paint and put it all back together .

This one is about done. still need to add some rod holders, motor mount board and touch up some paint.

I really admire your tenacity and handiwork. Thats some goooooood thinkin' and workin'. If it was mine, it would no doubt have a trolling motor mount up front, and a place for a small tackle box.

Sumo your an artist. If you lived closer I'd have you build me one.

Logo i am working on,

A few last pictures of number 4 with camo finished, homemade rod holders and a cup holders added, only added the car style cup holder because it will adjust wide enough to hold a tub of worms. I figured out a neat way to flair the pvc for the rod holders, just heat the tip of the pipe until it becomes soft and shove it down on a beer bottle. Best part is emptying the beer bottle.
