I was plannin' to build a gazebo at the end of our dock on our private lake but I thought, "what the heck! I might just as well just build a gazebo with floats on it and then we can take it out to the middle and fish in the deep end and get the really big ones!"

My son and I worked on it together and here it is! It has 15,000 pound capacity. The deck is 18 x 18 ft square with 12 plastic foam filled dock floats that measure 4 x 4 ft by 18 inches high and the gazebo is 10 ft hexagon with a built-in 4' square table inside. On one end is a double sink and on the other is a Lowrance Fish-Finder with depth sounding sonar's and a temp gauge. I put my trolling motor underneath with a wireless remote control so we can be fishing outside and go anywhere on the lake that we want. I have 2 electric winches with 40 lb. anchors. I have also built in a water pump so we can clean the fish right on the spot and a gas grill on the back so we can cook and eat lunch or supper right there. My family and I love it and we spend lots of time together!

Now for my next project: A temperature-controlled deer stand with a refrigerator, recliner, satellite dish and big screen tv!
