I was just curious. Couldn't tell from the pics but was assuming it was 2 pontoons. With that it would be good for 11,775#. 7,770# to leave 1/3 out the water.

X2! I can't wait to see the structure start coming together. One question: What are you going to use to move it to the water with?

Got an estimate on cost of the building? Or info on where you got that one? That's pretty much what I plan on building and buying one would make it much quicker

I will post pics of the inside when it is finished. The building came from Coast to Coast Carports and Cost about $ 3300. I have not seen one like this around just thought it would be a good idea to keep it Light.
