THANKS EVERYONE! I have the next week off so I will be digging into it pretty deep.

Just wondering whats the best approach on carpet install, do you guys install the floor first than do the carpet over that or carpet it then install. just wondering pros and cons. thanks

All right everybody I took your advice and tore up the floor and sure glad I did! the foam was like a block of ice, worse than I thought. I will be replacing the rivets that look bad but the PO tried to put silicone and jb weld on some if it. But I want to gluvit the inside. 2 question is should...

WHY DID THIS POST GET MOVED? BUT THANKS FOR THE ANSWERS

But I have heard of a lot of people put it on the outside, is this not the right way? Or not the best way. I just didn't want to redo the whole boat this year

How do you guys suggest flipping it over? do I have to take the motor off as well? I was hoping for an easy way out but guess not

I sold my old 14 ft and bought a Lund 16ft that I'm looking at redoing. Had it out a couple of times last year and had to run the bilge pump so I think there's some bad rivets. I looked underneath it and the PO tried to silicone the ribs. So my question is can I gluvit the bottom without...

Well was able to get the rest done sat. All I have left is the decals that im waiting for and the trailer is next. I know I kind of did things in reverse but I get to antsy when start a project. THANKS TO THIS SITE FOR ALL THE HELP!

Sorry to hear about your mom. Looks like a great boat. It actually looks like my alumacraft 14ft FD with seats removed already. I have a few post on that I started a mod on. I really mod it to be able to fish with my son and brother but a lot of memories will be made with my father. they are...

I have yet put foam back in. but the floor is easily removable for cleaning and such. I plan on cutting and placing foam between the braces. the boat had no foam to speak of but I think the seats were sealed air tight for floatation. still need to do the wiring also and hinges and finish a few...

Got busy this weekend and got the carpet laid and fitted and two coats of spar on the transom. have a few things to finish like hinges transom and wiring, seats, fish finder but its getting close! my luck there will still be ice come opener! :x

Got it sanded down and filled with water and found some leaks so sanded all the rivets and put some 5200 on them and ready for final sanding. removed 2 seat and trying to figure out the floor layout. so far its been a fun project. do you think the .083 aluminium will be thick enough for the...

Well finally got it pulled in the garage. planning on taking out the middle two benches and putting in a floor and storage on the sides and front and back. I have some sheets of aluminium that is .083 thick that I plan on using for the floor but may have to brace it pretty good. have to replace...

Im in the process of doing a mod to this boat. I will post progress pics when i start on it in a few weeks. Any tips and advice is more than welcome since this is my first mod. I have gotten alot of advice so far looking at post but was wondering how much space do you leave when your building...

I have aluma craft FD. I would like some information on it. I would like to do a conversion to make it more fishable and safer for my kids. has anybody done a FD, wondering how much weight I can add. Did a search but no posts. Also what size motor would you recommend. thanks

probably a dumb question but has any body raised there side walls, if so what did you use or could use? Please be patient just trying to get it right and safe

Just looking at pics but on my shallow v my side walls would be 20" but on a deep v the floor would be higher so about the same wall hieght if that makes sense. all i have around here are small lakes so waves wouldnt be out there when real windy anyway

I have an older aluma craft 14' shallow v. My boy just turn 2 and would like a safe boat for him. I have been lurking here for awhile getting ideas and such on a conversion for this boat. my question is should i sell this one and get a deeper v or will this one be fine if i put a floor in it. I...
