Hi,
ReplyDeletehow much weight do you think the wood deck is? can you post a pic of how the toons sit in the water with the deck on it?
Cool project!
ReplyDeleteDo you remove the dock in winter due to freezing? If so how does the trailer handle the extra weight from wood? We are planning converting a pontoon to floating dock, but have to trailer it to remove for winter.
Lollks nice, but why wouldn't you just put plywood back on to save on weight and money?
