So were building my quad into an "amphibious" vehicle and need 2, 6 foot pontoons!
any ideas? used would be nice, fabrication is possible with metal pontoons, must be able to support 800-1000 pounds!!!

Please Help Us!

I think your going to have to go bigger, a few of the 8 foot personal pontoons they sell only support 400 pounds

Depending on the diameter of the toons will tell you what size you need here is something I found on another project

I say your going to have to find some one to weld them up for you
