    A friend sent me this today...might be the extent of some 'yachting' this summer

    I was going to build the Gazebo on the edge of my dock down by the lake but I thought ... I might just as well build the deck with floats on it and I can then take it out fishing too. Has 15,000# capacity. The deck is 18ft x 18ft with 12 plastic foam filled dock floats that are 4ft x 4ft by 18 inch. high and the Gazebo is 10 ft. Hexagon with a table and chairs inside.

    Under the table is my trolling motor so I can take it out to my favorite fishing hole. The trolling motor is remote controlled wireless so I can be fishing outside and operate the motor. On the top of the table I have a LOWRANCE Fish-Finder with depth sounding sonars and temp gauge.

    I have 2 electric winches with 40# anchors. I have also built in a water pump so I can clean the fish right on the spot. Now I can relax and fish while my wife can sit and relax.

    :) I think thats great. My wife thinks thats great, and my kids do too.
    I have access to the technology, and I have the skills to accomplish a similar project. I'd even get a wicked sense of satisfaction getting good results from a Length / Beam ratio of 1...All we need now, is a lake.

    Brilliant!
    Perhaps a solar panel or two to keep the batteries charged and the cooler happy.
