Duct Tape Boat!

Step 4 Reapairs ( If needed) and add ons

This is the true glory of the craft. if for some reason you can manage to poke a hole throughthe layers of tape, all you need to fix it is duct tape. then go the the inside and also use a glue to repair from the inside.

Add ons:
Cup holders ( glued into Poisson).
Lawn chairs ( place plywood in the bottom on the hog paneling so the legs cant poke through).
Bigger motor( because going faster is better).
Drink cooler ( in this model it fits in the hollow nose of the boat).
Fishing pole holders(glued on or zip-tied).
Wooden floor (makes it nice).
Sail (would require the wooden floor for mounting).
An out rigger( for extra balance in rough water/ if hallow storage).
Colored tape/ spray paint.
On the inside a form of spray adhesive can be used to seal the inside ( Note: this is NOT needed for success but if one is paranoid it could help fix/ prevent a leak).

I like it. You could substitute split PVC pipe for the foam pipe wrap for more rigidity. 2 1/2 inch schedule 80 would be springy enough to pry open and snap closed over the edges of 1'x1' fencing. You could lock it in place by drilling through and securing with low profile bolts and nuts.

Great idea guys, here is a thought for your Outriggers, Use PVC 6" - 8" pipe w/end caps & O-Rings, As weight may be a problem; use the Discarded 36" Swimming pool Wall [ The Hard, Plastic wall ] for Boat walls, Floors, ETC....

we did make outriggers simmialr to that in the event of instablity but it is actualy very stable in the water and the boat in all 9 foot long only weights about 60 lbs
