Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Property Projects & Construction Boom Boat Rev2

I decided to upgrade my tin boat, an all welded Grizzly Tracker 1448, and my DIY spray boom I periodically use. Over the last 3 years, blue green algae hasn't given me any option to kill nuisance plants because I needed them to absorb all the nutrients in the pond. We're getting close to fall, and unless we get some rain, there will not be a third hay cut, and I still won't be able to spray do to the dropping water level.

Short story long. Welded tin boat built like a tank, an 8' spray boom that runs on a 1" venturi system , and a very loud 2 cycle gas powered 1" clean water pump. An 11 acre shallow pond that usually has around 20% of plants and hard cover, but presently has about 40% to 50% plant coverage. It's been setting under our tractor shed for the last few years and it does need some help.

It'll be redone in my spare time.

This is the victim. First thing is strip all the electronics, remove everything not nailed down, and then give it a mani-pedi.


This was the venturi system.


This was the 3 drop 8" boom.


2 batteries an a Minnkota charger was in the rear of the boat.
