Wooden Boat Bed

Not sure if this is the right place to post this…but my son absolutely loves fishing and being on the boat. We are thinking about turning an old wooden boat into his bed. Any ideas on where to find one? Not looking to spend a lot of money, because all of that is going towards building our new house! Thanks in advance for any help or ideas.

Put a 2 year old in a cardboard box and tell him it’s a boat… he’s happy.

True! He’s 7 so he needs a real one!

It really doesn’t take much. Just build a little platform on the front of most bead frames and then paint the existing frame and new bow (prow) all the same nautical colors.

Add hardware and features, per budget.

Probably cheaper to build one from scratch. Google “boat bed plans”, there are plenty of plans.

A friend of mine built this one for his son…

I thought about making my own. Just love the look of an old boat! Plus my wife wants to hang it from the ceiling. Something along these lines…

. I am pretty handy, but not that handy!

Cracker Larry, we posted at the same time! That is a cool bed. Still going for a real boat with some age to it! However we may have to reconsider.
