8x24' tritoon to 10x26 tritoon build
Posted: Fri Sep 27, 2013 8:52 am
Well everyone Im back at it. I still have my 24' tritoon with the 235hp.
Had it for sale for a while but to many tire kickers or people looking to buy just parts of it.
It has been sitting in the lake the last 2 years with no issues and we have enjoyed it so here goes the next step.
My floor is in good shape but the outer edges are starting to get soft from water, I also have not been able to under skin the deck the way I want to.
I will pulling the boat off the lake this weekend and start teardown.
Plan is to end up with a 10' wide 26' long base and possibly an upper level.
I will be using 3" C channel aluminum in 10' lengths to span between the tubes and support the floor.
Flooring will hopefully be aluminum Arideck from GA running length wise.
I will be sending out the center pontoon to have it stretched 3-4 feet and have a fuel tank built in the front to offset the weight of the motor, I will also be moving the 3 batteries to under the front seats.
If all goes well with the main floor I plan to reuse the origional 8' wide deck and put that above for a hard top that is safe to hold people while anchored.
Depending on how funds are I would also like to step up to a fourstroke and downsize to 50-90hp
As with my last tritoon build I will try to keep the progress updated on here and post pictures.
