Revolution Island??

Hell yeah, thanks bro, ill definately take you up on that, but ill come down to the haystack, if you're gonna do me a favor, at least let me save you some gas! Right on. 

I was thinkin about getting rigid foam insulation, cutting it to width and stacking it like pancakes to desired height.  Then rough cut it with hack saw, shape it with sureform, and glass it with sheets and resin.  Might make for a desireble result too much ork?  Is there a better way to get a big foam block?

I was thinking along the same lines foam for the shape and use fiberglass resin coating sand it down paint it nice about 9 or 8 feet long by my figures.
We need to hook up and figure this out. Few beers in the garage we could knock this out in no time

Foam sounds tough, sculpting it would be hell and some foams literally melt on contact with fiberglass resin.

There's a boat building technique called stitch and glue, Youtube it.  You basically cut out a plywood template, probably banana shape for an ama, drill holes along the edge then stitch them together. Glue up the joint with thickened epoxy, unstitch then go over the outside seam with thickened epoxy to fill it in. Cut out a top, hot coat it all then glass over the ply.

Once you get the right shape you can make a mold and make them all glass and foam fill them.

for simplicity i was thinking maybe a large piece of pvc or abs and putting a crab bouy on the end twords the bow and cap the aft end. will look like a big missle or.......... fill pipe with pool noodles or other foam. Easy,Cheap, and easy to test.

crab bouy

I believe that's what Rudy used for the starting point and then shaped it.

Hope I am not too late for a project input but this is what I did with my '08 Revo.
I can post you material details later if you are interested.

Wow, looks great!  How does she work?  Is that an inflatable pontoon?  Please post up the materials and estimated cost for the project.  Thanks bro, you hit the nail on the head!

or harpooned the wsb in the back which in the kayak world is better then hitting a nail on the head its more like hitting a home run with a tooth pick haha

Two guys could split a cheap pontoon boat, bought off Craigslist. Or, one guy could build himself a trimaran.

This will get the ball rolling for ya should you decide to go this way:



Outrigger arms:
- from a disabled person walker purchased at Goodwill for $6.
- rented a pipe bender to do the 30 deg bend. $7/day for 1 day.
Trampoline:
- heavy duty screen door netting. Cost $18 at HomeDepot:
- my wife sewed them to fit.
Mounting Clamps (crossbar):
-a G-Whiz original from one of his project purchased fm West Marine. Will get u the part# and cost.
Sidekick AMA float:
-most expensive part.
-maybe able to help you on this to save some $.
Sail Cleat:
-Spinlock fm West Marine. $42
-Will get u the PN.
Will take pictures this Labor Day weekend.

Danny - Is your kayak in the kitchen?  What else do you use it for??

i like it! Will put this down for a future project. Thanks for sharing supernerds470 

Any one wanna do this? I have a great idea for the outer float rather then using scotty riggers or hobie floats shoot me a pm if interessted

John (MBP) you don't need outriggers ...just get the sail and ......
