6 to 8 miles an hour is a good speed I have a 28 foot pontoon houseboat with a 70 hp 2 stroke top speed is 12 most of my boating is just above idle I've found 10 miles across the water ain't no different than where you're at hell, I shut the engine off for 5 or 10 minutes and enjoy the quite Better Lost At The Lake than Found At The House

Most ships and submarines have step thru in each compartment. Keeps water in and out. Next build don’t run the door opening to the floor. I know it requires you to step up every time you go in and out but most important it keeps water out. Safe travels 👍🏼

When your engine fails you throw out this thing called an anchor. It stops the boat.

Looks top heavy. I'd build it some out rigger pontoons for stability.

For 3 years I use to sit on a small 2 seater boat when I was stationed at “Navy Boat Crew MCB Camp Lejeune NC”. Our chief and the other guys didn’t like me, so they’d make me sit on the North end with this other EN3, we’d block the intercostal waterway off for USN Live Fire Exercises. Instead of dropping anchor I’d more us up to this buoy, one of the yocal fisherman tells me it’s illegal to tie up to a buoy, I told them coast guard works directly with us come by all the time, call them if you like. I’d tie up to a buoy if I was drifting.

Just a suggestion. Put an oar or rudder up fwd to one side. Then you can fine tune the steering and leave the kicker locked. :}

I know this is a older video but how long is your boat and what size is your motor and another question do you happen to know round about how many mph your boat will go

We made our water filtration out out of a bilge pump to bring the water up to the boat ($15.00) and a pvc canister we made ($10.00) and we stuffed the canister full of fish tank filters in a pouch ($10.00) Later we found that Walmart carries RV water filters for about $20.00 that screw right onto a water hose. Live and learn I suppose.

It was goofy of us, but we went to Google Earth and spotted your boat slip, the bus poking out of the building at Peoria Charter Coach and the Mobil gas station where you bought your gas :P

Bret Becky I am going to do some upgrades to the Finn this winter. One thing is a filtration system like you are talking about. Menards has filters that go down to 1 micron. I wouldn't drink it, but i would wash with it.

A 25 horse or larger would allow for emergency situations where you need to motor quick out of the way or pushing against big wind. Does not mean you have to use all of it. You can still cruz 6 knots all day.
