Hand Made Diesel Paddle Wheel Kubota

This is another one of my nervous projects. It started out as a Steam Paddle wheel Pontoon. I have since removed the steam drive and installed a much more efficient, but not quite as cool Kubota Hydraulic drive system. The two outer pontoon hulls are 28' 18" pontoons. The Inner Hulls are 18' 18" pontoons. The deck is all alluminum made from the same material used in trailer decking. And to my surprise, it not any hotter to walk on than dark carpet. Here are some of the features in list format: 1. Upper 8x8 superstructure platform with alluminum decking. I also have padded foam interlocking carpet for it as well. 2. 28" over all length not including paddlewheel 3. Paddle wheel is hydraulicly driven by a Wheel motor and is hand built out of 1.25" square alluminum tubing. 4. Two hydraulicly driven stern thrusters which turn about 120 degrees which makes it possible to manuver the boat sideways in conjunction with the fron Azipod. Stern thrusters feature 12" brass props. They can also be raised and lowered out of the water for clearance issues. 4. Front Hydraulicly driven Azipod. It has steerable travel of about 150 degrees. 5. 12 volt red and green rope lights for nav lights. 6. 25 Hp Kubota Diesel engine coupled to three Eaton Hydrostatic drive hydraulic pumps. Paddle wheel, stern thrusters and front Azipod are individuly driven by each pump. 7. Two Authentic Brass Ships Telegraphs for operation of the Paddle wheel and the Front Azipod. 8. Custom wrap around seating with my Phoenix Logo. 9. Authentic Mohogony Ships Wheel with controls the front Azipod. 10. Two auxiliary hand opperated hydraulic pumps which control the Stern Thrusters and the raise and lower feature. 11. Authentic Steam Guages left over from when it was Steam Powered. 12. 13. 14. 4 yr. old 24' tandem axle Pontoon trailer not included in this auction but available for and additional ....$2000 If you have questions, I would be happy to try to answer them. This project is still in its evolution. In fact I have some more mods that might be done in the next few weeks if I keep it. Or the parts to do them with will be included. It works fine like it is, but as with most projects, there are always more cool things that can still be done to increase the nifty factor.
