Trying to build a garage right now and everything will be much easier when I have a place to work on it rather than just the side yard between rain showers!
Yep! I think half the reason that we stay busy with boats is that we have a warehouse space to work in year round. It takes quite a good size garage to fit a 24' pontoon in to work on....and then there's the factor of whether or not it's heated.
hello, love your work when you get a chance let me know how to order that kind of flooring /will it come to size . i have a 18ft bass buggy dlx have you ever did one of them
Thanks!! I’ve restored a handful of bass buggies over the years. Everything I install can be ordered from PontoonStuff.com and you can enter TOMSTOONS at checkout for a 5% discount!!
The problem, IMO, is that PVC flexes and while you’d have the weight from the sand you might not get even pressure across the entire floor. Also, a 3” or 4” x 10’ length of PVC will be fairly unwieldy. AND, don’t drop it once you’ve filled it with the sand. Tom’s simple method is tried and true; he’s used it for years to great effect and from all his videos I’ve watched, it appears to be the same section of PVC pipe so it’s cheap and effective.
@@luisaraujo4708 That little section of PVC has helped me install close to 100 new floors over the last few years with ZERO complaints...I'm not changing anything now!
Generally you’ll want AT LEAST a 150hp on a boat of that size. We had a 22’ tritoon powered by a 200 hp Suzuki and loved it for performance, fuel economy, and how quiet it was. Always make sure the boat is rated to handle the horsepower engine you hang on it.
Looks great Tom! When you roll it out does it squirt any of the glue down the sides? Didn’t look like it from the video when you cut it. Also do you have to wait for it to “tack up” before applying it?
Thanks! I rarely have any squeeze out the sides when I roll it out. The felt tends to really soak it up. I don’t wait for it to tack up. If it’s above 65 degrees and laid on uniformly it’ll cure up with the vinyl rolled out and left alone for 24-48 hours. Sometimes when I cut a hole through the vinyl for wires or a table mount I’m amazed how well the vinyl is stuck to the plywood!
It’s a bison. Really cool animals. They run into storms coming over the plains in order to shorten the time spent in discomfort…versus cattle which will try to run away from the storm only to be overtaken and spend more time in it. They also shelter their weak, old, and young by surrounding them when a predator is near. We just have an appreciation for what they symbolize.

Exactly what I’ve ordered. Exquisite timing Tom!! Thanks my friend.
Gotta love it when it works out like that!! Thanks for watching!
As always great job Tom!
Thanks for watching!!
Big Help. Thank you
Great! Thanks for watching!

I may buy a 10’ stick of PVC, put screw on caps on it and fill it with sand. That would make a really good roller!
I’ve thought about something like that. Still gotta push some pressure down too tho!

Thanks for the tip. I guess I will just put my weight on it!
@@RandomlyAwkward1 Luckily it's just one time gluing that flooring down and then you'll get to enjoy your hard work for years to come!

Hi, can you please recommend engine(hp) setup for 22ft triple tube pontoon. Thank you

Tom, what is with the bull or cow tattoo on your arm?

C4TT!
Thanks!!
