why the terrible resulution

chud327 - 6 years ago

I don't know, It looks pretty good on my end. Thanks for trying to watching.

Le Argyο - 6 years ago

Its an underwater boat.

chud327 - 6 years ago

I think the word would be submarine. It actually never went under once. You would need 5 or 6 people to actually make it go under... Thanks for watching.

chud327 i say water very dark same drink coffee black. what ever good job bro. peace from malaysia.

I don't know what you are saying, but thanks for watching.

roadhog19 - 6 years ago

Should use 12" PVC. Will float better and stay higher in the water. Cool though.

chud327 - 6 years ago

Yes, 12' would have been better. It would be more like a real pontoon boat. thanks for watching.

Sean Flanagan - 6 years ago

What river is that

chud327 - 6 years ago

That is the St. Mary's River, near St. George, Georgia. Thanks for watching.

Ephraim Camacho - 6 years ago

It looks good for one person. It needs more tubes to make it float better.

chud327 - 6 years ago

It was fun, thanks for watching.

joann robinson - 6 years ago

Nice...thanks...doesn't look very controllable though

chud327 - 6 years ago

It wasn't bad, especially in a later video when I had the trolling motor on it. Thanks for watching.

Константин Литвяков - 6 years ago

Tell me, why do you have water of this color? Here we have in Russia the water is transparent

chud327 - 6 years ago

Lots of tree leaves putting tannic acid in the water. We have some transparent springs here too. Thanks for watching.

Jeddia Jones - 6 years ago

This has got to be the most ridiculous waste of time and money I have ever seen. For $50 more you can get a one-person kayak that would handle any type of water and last a lot longer than that wood frame will. Just dumb.

chud327 - 6 years ago

You call it dumb, but I already have a $50 canoe and a $40 kayak. This is just to be different. It was a fun experiment and I actually liked it. Other than being heavy, it worked great. BTW, it has made 10 times what it cost to build in views. The canoe and kayak videos combined may have made ten cents and that is not dumb. thanks for watching.

seededsoul - 6 years ago

#redneckengineering

What is the approximate weight of the boat? Love the build, helped me decide to use lighter materials.

chud327 - 6 years ago

It is probably about 200 pounds and yes, next time, it would get lighter material. Thanks for watching.

Minh Truonghoang - 6 years ago

water colours is strange

chud327 - 6 years ago

It is harmless tannic acid from all the leaves. Thanks for watching.

Gary Biggs - 6 years ago

Needs more tubes or bigger tubes. 1x4's for decking vs 2x4's.

chud327 - 6 years ago

Great advice and thanks for watching.

Immortal Soul - 6 years ago

River name?

chud327 - 6 years ago

That is the St. Mary's River. Thanks for watching.

Clover Vue - 6 years ago

$100 will buy an used kayak, that thing needs improvement, otherwise it's junk.

chud327 - 6 years ago

I bought a great one for $40 off of Craigslist and improved it, it made about a happy meals worth of dough in views, you would fall out if I told you how much this on made. You need to consider the big picture. I see it as cool and different, thanks for watching.

Revalfresh Media - 6 years ago

That is the dirtiest water I have ever seen! Looks like it would melt your skin.

chud327 - 6 years ago

Looks can be deceiving and no skin was lost in the water... Thanks for watching.

Naomi Starling - 6 years ago

wow whats in that water i wonder i dont do waterways they are filthy but the boat was cool

chud327 - 6 years ago

This water way goes through the woods and billions of leaves fall into the water. The leave create tannic acid, which may look filthy, but it is not. Thanks for watching.

chud327 - 6 years ago

Doubt it on the croc, but I see gators in there around dusk... Thanks for watching.

Aleksandr Glotov - 6 years ago

Great!!))) Try to use styrolfoam, we built a raft 10'x20' it was only $300 ))

chud327 - 6 years ago

Good idea, thanks for watching.

departmentofnatural awesomeness - 6 years ago

Bout how much weight can it hold?

chud327 - 6 years ago

I would try to find the thin wall PVC, this thing is pretty heavy. If I have a boat ramp and my car trailer, I can do it with one person just fine. If not it takes a few guys to carry it. Thanks for watching.

departmentofnatural awesomeness - 6 years ago

chud327, Thanks for replying, I may build something like this.

chud327 - 6 years ago

We have had too people on it. I would say around 300 pounds. Thanks for watching.

Jim Cummings - 6 years ago

To all you people saying how awful the water looks. It isn’t like the muddy crappy stagnant mud holes you are envisioning. To me it looks like tannic acid staining. Very common in many lakes in northern minnesota. It occurs from seepage through bogs, which is actually the best water filter there is. The result is very clean water with that brown/orange discoloration. Of course I may be wrong, and the discoloration is from suspended solids and thousands of non conforming septic systems leaching into the river.

chud327 - 6 years ago

Tannic acid is what it is, thanks for watching.

midtennkayakbassin - 6 years ago

Good job very creative but it’s really sketchy but it works so whatever gets you there do it

chud327 - 6 years ago

It wasn't that sketchy, but it was heavy... thanks for watching.

J D - 6 years ago

i was thinking of doing something similar with 5 gallon buckets

chud327 - 6 years ago

I want one with 55 gallon drums next. Thanks for watching.

Great video again bro..
I invite y'all to check out my channel and show some love to support the smaller YouTubers before February 20th. Truly we are all affected by this from the big guys to the one that just started.

chud327 - 6 years ago

Thanks for watching, I will have to check your channel out.

AVENTURAS GEOVANNY - 6 years ago

This water is dirty

chud327 - 6 years ago

Don't be scared, it is tannic acid from the decaying leaves. thanks for watching.

Dave Exline - 6 years ago

TWO MORE PONTOONS I THINK

chud327 - 6 years ago

That would be nice, but that beast is already super heavy. they could be detachable, you put them on when you get to the water. thanks for watching.

Jimmy Freeman - 6 years ago

If you lose power, you can paddle with your feet. Also, could fish right through the floor!

chud327 - 6 years ago

That is true, thanks for watching.

Idris Atan132 - 6 years ago

Look so heavy

chud327 - 6 years ago

It is heavy, the best thing to do is put it on the car trailer and use a boat ramp. We did that recently if you want to check that out, it was much better than carrying it. Thanks for watching.

chud327 - 6 years ago

It just looks nasty, thanks for watching.

Lawrence Withrow - 6 years ago

I think I'd hold out for the smaller tubes being made from 6" rather than 4" It just rides a little too low in the water for me to trust it. Still, for the materials at hand, a neat project.

chud327 - 6 years ago

Thinner would be nice because it would make the boat lighter to handle. As for the boat, it sits low, but it is stable and hold a lot of weight. Thanks for watching.

trollerer b - 6 years ago

Why do water is so red?

chud327 - 6 years ago

It is tannic acid from the decaying tree leaves. Thanks for watching.

nr3rful - 6 years ago

Why don't you need it registered ? Never fly in PA.

chud327 - 6 years ago

As long as there is no engine or motor on it, it is ok. I risked it with the engine and only had it in the water for a few minutes. If a game warden had shown up, we would have had a problem. Thanks for watching.

Joe DiMarco - 6 years ago

Sorry, but that's a waste of $ 100 !!

chud327 - 6 years ago

Thanks for your view and your opinion, but you need to look at the big picture. That was bonding time with a long distant family member. When we went to the river to test it, we had way more than $100 worth of fun. We have had it to the river multiple times. As for a YouTube video, it is the best $100, I didn't even spend, for my channel. It has, in 6 months, picked up 565 subscribers, over 5K shares, over 700K views, and 2.5 million watch time minutes. It has paid back over 13 times what was spent on it. It was far from a waste. I wish all my video were this successful, I would be doing YouTube, my dream career, full time. Thanks again for watching.

Rick Kellett - 6 years ago

I like it

chud327 - 6 years ago

If it was on the trailer, I might would go to the river today. It is a beautiful 70 degree day. Thanks for watching.

alamotexan - 6 years ago

Yeah glue that is proven over thousands of job site and you yocals use sillycone

chud327 - 6 years ago

Your reply made no sense and was rude, I deleted it. Leaking caps would not equal bouncy, maybe you and you degrees want to sit in a corner.

chud327 - 6 years ago

alamotexan Yes Mr. All-knowing, however, the caps had too much clearance. Maybe they were the wrong schedule. If we had you running the show it would have been a pvc submarine. There is no way you could have known that and thanks for watching.

Rick Kellett - 6 years ago

It needs to float higher, period, but I like it, good job!

chud327 - 6 years ago

If I modify it any, I will probably loose a lot of the wood. The wood made it super heavy. Thanks for watching.

chud327 - 6 years ago

Thanks and it worked pretty good too. Have you seen my recent videos where I have the trolling motor on it, that was cool. Thanks for watching.

burymedeep 2093 - 6 years ago

I like it. Im gonna work off that and see where it goes. Thx

chud327 - 6 years ago

I am not familiar with rivers in Az, I would say take it down the grand canyon... In fact, I should do that, it might get more views...

burymedeep 2093 - 6 years ago

I really appreciate the tips chud. You guys are awesome. Im in Arizona now if you can find me a river too!

chud327 - 6 years ago

I would suggest less wood, the wood made it too heavy. And I probably wouldn't put foam in the pipes. Also for the 4 inch pipe, there are two types that are thinner, cheaper, and lighter... Good luck and thanks for watching.

viper2788 - 6 years ago

Why did you fill the pipes with foam?

chud327 - 6 years ago

I guess he thought if it leaks the foam will trap the water. Thanks for watching.

Sam Holt - 6 years ago

I want to see some information about the motor

chud327 - 6 years ago

I have a few videos of that motor and a bigger one. Type "Chud327 homemade boat motor" and they should pop up.

John Montgomery - 6 years ago

I always wanted to try that ... good stuff. where is a lake or a river there is fun.

chud327 - 6 years ago

I read it wrong and yes, water usually equals fun! I plan to have that pvc boat in the water soon with the motor moved forward a bit, when it warms up a little...

John Montgomery - 6 years ago

I meant to say "that where there is a Lake or a River, there is fun" ... anyway, thank you for the video and good luck on the next project.

chud327 - 6 years ago

Thanks it is the St. Mary's river between Georgia and Florida... Thanks for watching.

AllAlaskan907 - 6 years ago

Needs more flotation in the back, looks scar as hell running it with the motor and it sinking so far down in the water lol.

chud327 - 6 years ago

Thanks for watching more than one! If you go to my channel, the trolling motor one with be probably about 10th from newest. I also did some amphibious gocart videos about the same time that I would love to hear what you think. Thanks for the reply.

AllAlaskan907 - 6 years ago

I didn't see that one, I did just see where you added more float tubes underneath though.

chud327 - 6 years ago

AllAlaskan907 I am actually planning to move the motor forward a little next time it is warm enough. Did you see recently when I had a trolling motor on it? Thanks for watching.

chud327 - 6 years ago

Don't worry, it is just tannic acid from all the leaves. Thanks for watching.

Sebastian Elliott - 6 years ago

Coca-Cola river

chud327 - 6 years ago

That is exactly what i was thinking, thanks for watching.

Retz - 7 years ago

I'd definitely put foam or something inside the PVC pipes for extra buoyancy, and an outrigger would probably be a must with that thing because it doesn't look very stable.

chud327 - 7 years ago

It is pretty stable and I recently had it back at the river, I would love to hear what you think. Thanks for watching.

Juan Francisco Cacao - 7 years ago

Its better when its wider

chud327 - 7 years ago

Have you seem my recent videos of my amphibious go-cart? It is wider and very stable, I would love to hear what you think. Thanks for watching.

chud327 - 6 years ago

It is fine. It is tannic acid from the decomposing leaves. Thanks for watching.

Linc Qimiq - 7 years ago

I think u should use 14 to 16 inch diameter it will hold 2 or 3 persons plus motor

chud327 - 7 years ago

That would make a pretty nice boat, thanks for watching.

Chris Gold - 7 years ago

Great job! Try using PVC instead of wood!

chud327 - 7 years ago

I found a heap load of PVC in a dumpster, it would be super easy and free to make it out of PVC now. Thanks for watching.

Dondi Dykes - 7 years ago

Aren't very there Gators in that water ?

chud327 - 7 years ago

There are gators in that water, but you usually only see them at about dark. I am not sure where they hide in the daytime... Thanks for watching.

Small Fry Productions - 7 years ago

Smart matey

chud327 - 7 years ago

Glad you like it, BTW, I just made another video of it verses a different PVC watercraft. I would love to hear what you think. thanks for watching.

Bill Rossey - 7 years ago

Great idea but looks like way too little flotation (video should be called Cheap PVC Sub)

chud327 - 7 years ago

It carried 2 people and never went under, my only complaint is how heavy it is, should have called it heavy PVC boat.

Stephen Mead - 7 years ago

why is there no bottom of the boat..that is the best question..with all the gators in the south

chud327 - 7 years ago

Good point about the gators and you see them there as the sun is going down... Thanks for watching.

Stephen Mead - 7 years ago

all fresh water looks like this in florida..i don't know what people are talk'n about..if the water doesn't look like that in florida your not on the fish..

It looks perfectly normal to me, thanks again!

Stephen Mead - 7 years ago

anyone say red shad culprit or senko?

Stephen Mead - 7 years ago

people that haven't seen that water color don't live in the southern states..lmfao.. very common in the south..looks like good fishing to me

Walter Sudymont - 7 years ago

Does it matter what the water looks like? It’s tannins from leaves, no problem!

chud327 - 7 years ago

chud327 - 7 years ago

That is exactly what it looks like to me. Thanks for watching.

Juan jotabe - 7 years ago

it barely floats and it is not so inexpensive when you take into account the tools needed to make the job. a cheap plastic kayak will be much safer, but hey, its a fun ride i give u that

chud327 - 7 years ago

The good news is that it was fully funded by the brother in law. I like it because it is different and fun. I bought a $50 canoe and a $40 kayak after this build, but every one has those. this thing is unique. I just wish it wasn't so heavy. thanks for watching.

Alex and Tina Gangl. - 7 years ago

What I would try is gluing all the pvc not silicone so it is air tight then drill small hole install a tire valve and put a few pounds of air in the tubes for more buoyancy

chud327 - 7 years ago

I like the gluing idea, but I don't know if more air pressure would help, I should do an experiment. thank for watching and did you see my recent videos testing this PVC watercraft with a different PVC amphibious gocart. I would love to hear what you think.

Elliott J - 7 years ago

Did you run into any channel cookies or honey bucks on the river ?

chud327 - 7 years ago

I don't guess we have those in this part of the woods, I haven't heard of them. Thanks for watching.

Trevor Piercy - 7 years ago

Or if you filled them with foam or something maybe it would change the buoyancy.

chud327 - 7 years ago

I was thinking the foam would be heavier and less buoyant. Thanks for watching. BTW, I just made another video with this and another PVC watercraft, I would love to hear what you think.

Trevor Piercy - 7 years ago

I wonder if you added a valve stem to the PVC pipes you could pressurize them and it would float a little better.

chud327 - 7 years ago

I was thinking more air would be heavier and less buoyant, but I guess I could test it. Thanks again.

JR Sales - 7 years ago

Interessante. Acredito que ainda possa fazer melhorias positivas. Parabéns pela criatividade e um abraço do Brasil!

I ask, why so narrow? thanks for answering

chud327 - 7 years ago

Have you seen my recent videos of this PVC craft and my PVC amphibious Gocart? The go cart is much wider and more stable. I would love to hear what you think.

OscarGuillermo09 - 7 years ago

more width more stability, equal effort, maybe the longest oar haha cordial greetings from Argentina

chud327 - 7 years ago

We were trying to make it skinny like a kayak so that it would be easy to paddle. However, wider may have been better. Thanks for watching and good question.
