Real nice. How much money would you say is tied up in it. Can you just park it in any "natural" waterway or do.you have to have a lease?


Right now we are about $6500 in for everything. I'm not sure if you can just park it anywhere, but its on my buddies lease right now till I sign the papers on my lease.

That crawfish pot would sure look nice on my front porch!

Wow, that is awesome. What did you use for the flotation? How much did that cost?

Its dock floats I ordered online. They are foam filled polypropylene and cant sink. They come in many sizes, mine are 3' Wide 2' Deep and 10' Long. I have 3 on each side for 30' "pontoons" I guess you could say. We built a 4' rake out of wood and fiberglassed for easy pushing (it will be moving alot). The total dimensions are 36x16, 12x20 cabin, 10' front porch, 6' back porch and 2' walk around.

Makita's is supposedly a good one.

I have the Dewalt 735 and could not recommend it enough.

I have a dust collector that I hook to it when I use it in the garage. If it's nice out I use it in the drive way and let the chips fall where they may.

How did you attach the deck to the pontoons?

Does it have a toilet, shower, sink, etc?

How do you move it?

Everyone is pluggin along. Thanks for askin. Dads deer camp had 6 ft of water in it last week. Water has never even gotten close to the steps before... Been rough. He and several guys have been strippin the joint the last couple days. No insurance. Sucks.

How is your crew?
