The floats are 24”X48”-12” and have 400 pounds of buoyancy each. 2 are for the ramp and 8 are for the barge.
Looking at the barge floating there, I thought it sure looks solid. I went back to your first post to see how many floats that you used and what size they are. If my math is right, you have 3,200 pounds of buoyancy. I don't have a clue what the barge weighs, but I'd guess well under this number.
Is it as solid as it looks in the pictures? Does it settle down in the water at all with people and gear on board?
If you were to build one again, would you use the 8 floats with the same weight rating as you did on this one?
I'm considering building a floating dock, and I don't want to spend allot more then I need to on floats. I've been racking my brain to figure out what is the ideal number of floats for a 12 x 16 foot dock.
Your barge looks ideal the way it sits in the water.
Thanks,
Eddie
