Dont know what happened but half the message was missing. These guys do awesome fully equipped pontoons for under R2000. Single Pontoons are very expensive but Im sure these guys can help you out.

 

 

[Mr Zak]

i'm using Xanders kickboat as an example

 

This is the exact pontoons i'm looking for

Lenght - 2m 

height - 40cm

There is a thread in the bass section on building these babies and I think in the DIY thread. If I can recall there is a place in the Cape that makes them for R1400 each.

Heres a couple of posts, the contact for the pontoons is in one of these posts.

[Mr Zak]

thanks for all the info Lunker, see the thing is I want to fully customize mine with, trolling motor, enough space to put on a swivel chair and maybe n storage compartment\livewell

 

must be one of a kind!!!!

 

[Lunker]

I know exactly what you saying. I was also planning on doing that but my better half looked at the cost to do that and reminded me kindly that it was a bit to much.lol.

Well good luck with project and hope to see photos and progress reports on it.

Cheers

From what I can understand is this what you are looking at doing.

This model is from Dabbie.co.za

thanks weasel.

That was my first kickboat i ever built...it no longer belongs to me...i do miss it...turns easy...because of the short ponttons and the best part is it is so light and practical

I am in the middle of a total workshop revamp...which is taking longer than expected...because it has to be 100 % right not 99.9...i have fitted and stripped on a few occassions...will post a pic when it is completed...thats why i havent responded to emails etc...and rory has been out of town on holiday for over a month...so things have been a bit hectic.

I am also busy with a different project which needed to be completed a month ago already...see pic below...a shadow box for world cup memorabilia...rugby jerseys...kids first outfit etc etc.

i cannot send anyone plans for our kickboats...for 2 reasons...one i dont use a plan to build them i build out my head and measure lengths depending on where i want to fit the kickboat...then just copy the first one...the second reason is there is a 3D cad drawing of rorys kickboat which he drew on his pc...because that is what he does for a living...so you would need to ask him...big ror.

if you live in durban you are welcom to come to my workshop and copy my kickboat and i will assist with the build...you just need to pay for all the materials used...my labour free of charge...but only when my workshop is complete....i might even start getting more serious about the kickboat building.

 

check out my latest project...the shadow box...will post a better pic when it is complete...will be making these for a small fee...i found something other than bass fishing which i really enjoy...that why there has been no bass fishing reports for a while...ok and i am scared to wet my feet in the cold water

Awesome job. if my wife see this world cup memorabilia then my fishing is on hold for awhile 2 lol.

Keep it up!
