I've been thinking of making myself something like these for a while. I think they look cool. The lawn chair seat gives it a special look. Question, how are they when some Merc 300 creates a wake???
When I did a job installing some high cost acustical foam PL 300 was recommended. It comes in a caulk sized tube. Many building supply / lumber yards carry it. Here's an ifo page on the stuff. PL 300 is a bit stiff and as with anything new it pays to play on some scrap pieces first.

" Fishermen, hunters, wood choppers, and others,
spending their lives in the fields and woods,
in a peculiar sense a part of Nature themselves,
are often in a more favorable mood for observing her,
in the intervals of their pursuits,
than philosophers or poets even,
who approach her with expectation."
Henry David Thoreau
Dave E,
Please e-mail some technical specs regarding chair model # and manufacturer. Duct tape brand,chewing gum,bungee cord, glue and battery ?. Perhaps a drawing?

If you're wealthy, you can use Gorilla Glue to stick the layers together.

PL 300 works fine as a glue and coating, it helps to heat it up (immerse tube in warm water for a while) PL premium works even better.
Hey Marco,
When that kick boat comes into contact with some immovable hard object and falls apart, Martha says you can use the pre-soaked foam pieces to make this lovely floral arrangement.
Which might come in handy at the wake.
In my mind the amount one invests into a life vest or a water craft should be directly proportional to the value they place on their life. But that's just me.
Hi Robin,
I've played with small boats for many
years. In deference to our healthy gator
population here in SC, this was my version
of a solo pontoon boat.
Exceptionally stable and would transit very
shallow waters. Great fly fishing platform.
I used 1/4 inch ply for this one but worked
up the figures for a version with foam
pontoons as well. We have a architectual
trim company here that makes columns and
other commercial building trim and coats
them with a cement product. They quoted me
50 bucks for a shaped pair of pontoons from
foam with no coating. The Rhinohyde dealer
did a test spray on a large chunck of foam
for me and it completely encapsulated the
foam and added tremendous durability. Maybe
one of these days I'll get around to
building it.*G* Warm regards, Jim

You have passed on some inspirational data. Those are all great ideas.
On the pictured pontoon boat, did you build the pontoons, fill with foam and then cap off with plywood? Or some other method of manufacture? A proprietary trade secret perhaps?
I'll have to look up the Rhino Liner or similar service here in my area.
