Does anyone have advise on electrolysis? I know the types of metal you use in your boat can cause it, but if I use some zinc plated screws on some parts of the boat will it cause problems?

Thanks. I seem to have too many projects right now so this one keeps getting delayed. Just as long as it is ready for the summer.

I was just planning screwing the wood to the aluminum from both the top and bottom. I don't think the screws will be very noticeable from the top.

Haven't posted much in a while, since I have multiple projects going, and it has been a little cold here. It is coming along, and I am getting closer to adding carpet. I decided to put the batteries under the middle seat to distribute the weight a little better.

I am paying for my boat project by working as a Firefighter/Paramedic. Love the job, it's just unfortunate that someone has to be having a bad day for me to be busy.

Really nice job!

Thanks, I think I am just going to use indoor/outdoor carpet. I also plan on treating the wood with fiberglass resin to improve the water resistance, since I have heard that some carpets can trap moisture.

Working on the boat has been a little slow, but here is my progress. I am still working on the front deck, but it is getting closer.

My wife pretty much knows what to expect when I say I won't go overboard on this project. Ha Ha. Does anyone know if it is OK to use indoor/outdoor carpet or should I use a special boat carpet?

I am out from Bend, Oregon. I started a modification of my 14' Western aluminum V-Bottom. I am going to use the Boat to do a little crabbing in some of the coastal bays, and also fish for some Big Browns in our many lakes.

I am having trouble getting my photos to upload. Does anyone have suggestions?

I just bought a 14' Western V-bottom boat, and thanks to all the information on this website, am now going to do a conversion. I plan on adding floors, storage, and a front flipping deck. I will post some pics of the boat real soon.
