    Alumacraft 16/65 Deep V Upgrade

    The Tuff-coat isn't bad at all, I took it out to the lake today and kicked the shoes off and didn't have any problem walking on it barefooted.

    Alumacraft 16/65 Deep V Upgrade

    Finally got the Tuff-coat applied. A friend picked up a hopper sprayer at a yard sale for me for $15 and it worked great. I really like the way this stuff sprayed out and covered the deck.

    Alumacraft 16/65 Deep V Upgrade

    I used an Aluminum piano hinge, 3" wide. Its basically flat, I wish I would have waited and found an offset hinge to make the gaps a bit smaller, but this hinge will do. I will try to get you a better pic. The aluminum was a lot cheaper than stainless steal.

    Tony's 1952 Alumacraft Model K Restore Project

    Looks good, I wish I could have used 2x4's. My boat was just to deep and I needed to raise the floor higher.

    1968 14ft Richline semi v...starting the rebuild on pg 4

    Your boat is looking good. I see you put a pedestal seat on the back deck, your wife must have decided that she likes being higher up.

    They say it holds up really well, I will be giving an opinion on it in a couple of months, hopefully it will be a good one. A lot of people seem to like it.

    1990 16 foot Springbok Starfish build

    Looks great! I never even thought about using cedar. You definitely did your homework and research.

    Alumacraft 16/65 Deep V Upgrade

    Tony, the 16/65 means it is a 16' boat with 65" gunwale. The boat is a 1964 alumacraft. I thought about carpet but decided to go with Tuff-coat rubberized decking with the two part epoxy sealer that goes with it. It will be easier to clean and I can re-apply in spots if I need to.

    Trolling motor (Minn Kota Edge 45/45) calls for a 50amp circuit breaker or in line fuse. I found that Bass Pro has one for $61.99 and Academy Sports has the exact same circuit breaker for $29.99.

    Well due to weather and work, haven't accomplished much. But, I do have alot on order and waiting for delivery of Tuff-coat, piano hinge, and circuit breaker for the trolling motor.

    Plywood finish question

    Thanks for all the help, I guess I will go with the two part epoxy that goes with the Tuff-coat flooring. I just want to make sure it is sealed well enough so I don't have to do this again in a couple of years.
