Floating Gazebo

Floating Gazebo

Fishing just got easier for Bubba!

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 then I can take it out fishing too.

The deck has a 15,000-pound capacity and is 18 feet x 18 feet with 12 plastic foam-filled dock floats that are 4 feet x 4 feet by 18 inches high, and the Gazebo is a 10-foot diameter 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 wirelessly remote-controlled so I can be fishing outside and operate the motor.

On top of the table I have a Lowrance Fish Finder with depth-sounding sonar and temperature gauge.

I have two electric winches with 40-pound anchors and I've 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....
