Best 14ft Vboat conversion!

Still looks great. Don't worry about the rails, if you're happy with them, then they are great. I only said something, because I know how kids can be at the dock trying to get into the boat. Plus as I stated above, most docks here are about as tall as the boat, so you'd have to step up and over the rail 9" and then into the boat with a 6" drop. No one is calling you out or questioning your decision. I think it's just that they look so big on that boat. Just be careful getting in and out and I think you'll be fine.
Like the lights, I did the same to mine, but I want to redo them. Mind posting up what you bought?

If you do second guess your rail decision, with your welding skills I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to make a gate with the existing rails so it would be easier for people to get in n out

I have considered that. We'll see how it goes. Most of the docks around here are tall and have ladders. Except for our lake gaston house

This is what I got they have all different lengths. I'm putting these green ones outside the boat

I have some in mine and they work, but I accidentally bought 2 different kinds. I was told to get the 5050 lights as they are a tri chip. Meaning that have the red, green, and blue LED in one. Mine are set so I can change the color on them. I'm going to redo mine. Plus I didn't get any light on my rear deck.

Great paint scheme. Wish I would've done something radical on mine--but I hate painting.

Did a lil work tonight. Installed the exterior green led lights and some storage lights in the back compartment

Is that a 14 foot alumacraft.... it looks similar to a boat I had before I found the alumacraft I am working on now.

Dude you are my hero! That is an amazing build. I have two questions: What size aluminum angle did you use for the decking? And did you make a stencil for the grass and cattails or is it available commercially? Paint job is really nice I'm impressed.

1 x 1 x 1/8 angle. Yes i bought a $12 stencil off eBay. FYI this is my 1st build. I'm planning on getting a 20 -24 ft aluminum boat and doing it all over again in a couple years. I knew my wife would flip if I brought home a boat that big as a first project. Besides this will be good for getting around in those tight areas. Lol thank you very much.

Set her in the pool to check for leaks. The water looks like a lake anyway lol. I did build this pool and deck tho.
