Awesome. My boat is exactly like this one. Just a 14 ft. Im having a problem though. How did you build and frame the back deck? I have a 6 gallon tank back there and its higher than the bench is. Did you have to raise the deck a little on yours to get over the tank? Got any pics of the back...

Welcome aboard! Good lord, I cant wait to see what you do with this monster.

is this the indoor/outdoor carpet that you can get at home depot too? it has rubber backing as well. I was thinking about getting some. 6'x8' for only $16

Welcome aboard Coleman. This site is awesome and very informative. Can't wait to see your progress.

I would also agree on stainless. Make sure you dont use any screws that are copper. They will counter act with the aluminum and will corrode the aluminum. Well this is what I learned from this site anyways.

Holy cow thats a steal! Congrats! This looks like its going to be one fun project. Cant wait to see your progress.

Oops.. well I kinda got a little too excited about starting on it that I hit the floor running and knocked the bench out. Well I was also hoping on a theory. On the side of the boat are ridges on each side near the bottom. I cut my plywood to fit the shape of the ridges and added ribs to the...

How's it going everyone? Been reading this forum for some time now and getting tons of awesome ideas for my project. I have a 1969 14ft Sea Nymph shallow v. I'll be pushing her with a 1979 9.9 Chrysler that I am rebuilding. I finally got it to my house after almost 2 years of sitting at my dads...

Good info. But now you kinda got me worried. Mine doesnt have ribs up the sides. But I do still have the back bench and the front 2. I'll also be adding a wood base in the middle section. Hopefully this will help. I'll be sure to have my life vest on when I take it out for the first time. If it...

Yeah that is true. I guess i forgot to mention that my hull isn't real thick or made of the heavy duty aluminum.

I just removed my middle bench this past weekend. I got a 14 foot v-bottom. There's definitely a difference without it. I can push the sides in and out a little but it shouldn't be a problem once I make a platform in the middle which should reinforce it better. So I would definitely suggest...

Thanks Cap! I've been visiting this forum since last year when I stumbled across it looking for modified jons. I love this site. So many cool mods here. Its like a aluminum boaters heaven. Haha

Lookin good Stew. I have a 14 footer v bottom and i was planning on building a deck and cutting out the middle console too. I cant wait to see the final product. Im gonna start on mine hopefully this week and I'll be posting my progress as well.
