Tiny Boat Build - How to add Flooring to your Aluminum BOAT

Спорт

I have been using my 12 foot aluminum boat a lot recently and wanted to make it more fishable. The challenge for me is that I could not make it too heavy because I do not and cannot have a trailer for this boat. I would love to have added a big deck, storage , new Trolling motor and more but it would be too heavy so I opted to just add some flooring so that I would have a flat platform to fish from.

    I know this video is old but honestly I would have just went with the 4x8 foam board. It would double as the support and weighs nothing. Meaning you could use thinner plywood for the bottom. Especially since you lift it often.

    Great job bro but would you recommend doing this to a Jon boat or v haul that you can only row in? Seems like you lose a lot of leg space.

    What do you do when your boat bottom has no interior cross members? My boats rigidity comes from having 5 keels so there is nothing to rivet to on the inside.

    That isn't closed cell foam. It will soak up water over time. 👎

    Yet another aluminum boat destroyed. Spray foam and plywood will ALWAYS become saturated and add 100 pounds of wet mush to the boat. First: Fix the forward bench. Drill out the rivets. Remove, straighten, reinstall. I can't see the logic in repainting a buckled bench. Next: find the leaky rivets and using a hammer and dolly, re-tighten them. Another tip: Instead of using your wife's rolling pin to press the flooring down, use something smaller so your weight is focused on a couple of square inches instead of being dispersed under a wide roller. The "pounds per square inch" increases proportionately. At least you didn't use carpet.

    R.E.S.P.I.R.A.T.O.R. Your eyes were showing fatigue from the aerosol and the paint. Take care of your body. I spent 2 years with cancer and I'll spend the rest of my life with the side effects from the treatments. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

    Please, if you know, you have no clue what you're doing. Do more research. You will regret this long term. Sure, it will be a learning experience. But with what you spent, you could have done a much better job. Within a year, you will be ripping this all out or getting rid of the boat.
