    Cheap stabilizers for 12' Jon Boat.

    I bought an old 12' Jon boat just to test out some new engines and mud motors, but I've always found them a little unsteady for me. (Must be getting old). So I decided to try and find a cheap way of adding buoyancy but there seemed to be no real commercial products available. I also looked at...

    Making a river raft from sewer pipes

    I've decided to start a new thread here on my raft project. I'm using 6" x 14' long pipes, with a bell end connection, to make a 28' long raft x 4' wide. I've decided to use ordinary steel wire 3/16" with a plastic coating to lash the pipes together, it's much cheaper than stainless. I am...
