Floating Gazebo for Fishing

**Darryl Morris** · 12-02-2007, 10:14 AM

A friend of mine sent this to me in an email. I thought ya'll might like to see it.

"The man hasn't lived who would not be proud to be related to this genius.
FLOATING GAZEBO
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 controled 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 winchs 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."

Satellite dish & TV = $500.00

Floating Fishing Gazebo = $4000.00

Bowl games + Crappie fishing in January = Priceless

Simply awesome. I could do some serious spider rigging from there. I wonder if it has to be registered as a boat?

**Darryl Morris** · 12-02-2007, 03:17 PM

To be legal I guess it would have to be registered. Probably much like a houseboat.

I showed this to the Mrs. just now. She wants a hole on the inside to fish from, so she can stay away from the bugs.

That is just too cool :D Reminds me of a project that's
been bumping around in my head for years. I want to build a
pontoon with an enclosed cabin - and a big trap door in the floor
to fish out of when it's like 15 degrees... or pouring rain.
Sit on the couch with the heat going and pretend your ice fishing :D
