Awesome video! This floorplan is ingenious, having a lowered, open concept floor in a small boat seems ideal for multiple people! Excellent explanation and execution, well done!

great job.... my one bit of advice, stagger the rear seat to the left side of the boat. this will make it much easier to run your gas/trolling motor from that rear seat.

Actually seat shifted to the right side of the boat will make steering that much easier.

@@timothyclingerman5430 The seat is shifted to the right, for that reason. I shifted out enough to balance the weight from the outboard motor and trolling motor.

Scooped up something similar over the weekend. should be getting started on it next weekend. thanks for the content!

Love your work and the thought process going into this job!

Very cool man!!! I’ve been updating my little 12 ft gamefisher for about a yeah. You gave me a couple great ideas! Thanks for the post!

Love how you redid the boat..that is what I would like to do to mine. It is hard to move around with the old benches in there..great job Greg!

Really love the job you did on this boat! Want to try something like this on mine, thanks for sharing the info.!

Amazing video, this is such a cool boat, have fun fishing with it!

Nice work. Getting my first 12’ next week. Looking forward to doing some of these things.

power to ya. I would suggest putting batteries in the bow, fuel cell in the stern. you will have much fewer issues with your gas motor this way

I love your boat renovation! I have a 71, 14’ aluminum Sea Star that I’m working on. I really like the seat pedestals that you mounted your swivel seats to! Can you tell me the model and where you picked them up? I would love to mount my battery and gas tank in the bow, similar to what you have. I’m not too sure on the bus connections that you have and how that all works. Electrical is definitely not my thing. Can you tell me where you got your battery housing, that has the posts on the outside of it? Sorry if this is to long, I’m just getting started here! Tight lines, Jim

Awesome very awesome gave me an idea with my John boat I love it thanks a lot.

Great job

It's really nice build Sir...

Exactly what I’m looking to do to mine, didn’t like how others put wood/carpet over the seats and were sitting really high up!

Very nice build. I have one similar I would like to do

The reason it’s a law to have foam in small boats is so they won’t sink when they take on water in bad weather. Being able to stay with the boat can save peoples lives till they are rescued. The boat can also be saved.

I have a 12ft aluminum 1962 mirrocraft that looks almost exactly like this interior. I'd love to do something very similar. Question, with the rear seat mounted in the center do you find it difficult to steer or control the hand tiller of your outboard?

How did this boat make out after almost a year?

How does your engine run with the gas tank all the way up front, any problems

Nice job! How did you cut the seats out so nicely?

I just used a little saber saw with a metal cutting blade.

Having the fuel tank and battery up front ads extra unwanted weight and causes planning problems. And wants to plow water

Way too heavy. The capacity has been exceeded even before anyone gets in! I hope you had fun, because the resale value has been reduced by half.

Hey Greg, was thickness of plywood did you use and what did you use to cut the seats out? Thanks

@gregggarthright1205

It’s been a while, but I think I used 3/8” plywood. It was supported everywhere by the flotation foam, so I didn’t need thicker plywood. It was very solid. I reinforced it under the seats.

I used a jig saw with a metal cutting blade to cut out the seats, after making a rough cut with a sawzall.

I got them on Amazon. Not sure if this is the exact one, but it was similar (I thought they were a little cheaper than this - maybe the price went up). www.amazon.com/Wise-8WD1500-Adjustable-Bell-Pedestal/dp/B004WIRHOS/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=boat+seat+pedestal&qid=1621473550&sr=8-8

The rod rack is a disaster waiting to happen. Five years from now this'll be a mould ridden, saturated heap of rotted plywood in a destroyed tinny. Classifieds are filled with 'em!

How stable is it

It’s really stable. I think it’s a little more stable than it was with the bench seats. It’ll get more extensive use on our Minnesota trip, but so far, it’s been great.
