Another boat find on Pintrest. This one is a home-designed/built fishing platform from a fellow named Dennis Hubbard. He posted the picture and a small bit of info on the following page at boatdesign.net – https://www.boatdesign.net/gallery/home-designed-built-electric-tri.26073/

Dennis wrote the following description of this boat:

Home designed/built electric tri

This is a boat that I built after years of sailing tris. When I moved to Ca from Hi I wanted a boat to fish from in all the reservoirs here in the Sierras. I made a little model and went from there. It’s 15′ long and 11′ wide unfolded. 6′ wide with the amas retracted. Powered by a 48vdc minn kota 2hp electric motor in a motor well. I think I built it a bit too heavy coming in at 1000lbs but I had no experience building boats and my error was to make the main hull 3/8″ instead of 1/4″….anyway it works great and is a very stable and fun boat for trolling and just messing about. I also built in a 18″ plexiglass window in the bottom which is great to watch the bottom in clear high alpine lakes.

I am linking to the original image of this boat on the boatdesign.net site … click the picture below to see the full-size image where it’s posted…
