well i finally got all the paint done after hours of sanding and what not. not its time to move on. would you guys do wiring first or decking. Also what do you thing would be the best way to deck this boat. AHHHHH so much to do so little time fishing opener this saturday.

How do you plan to deck with out a perch in bow for it rest on?

 

[snowboardinmn]

well today i started on the decking i got quite a bit done. i still need to make vertical supports the open square in the middle is where a hatch will be. under the hatch is my deep cycle and a rubbermade tub that will fit quite a bit of tackle boxes. Below is just a couple views of what i got done today. All 2x2s are also sealed with thompsons water seal i am just wondering how many coats i should use. so far i have used two think thats enough?

Nice framing! 8)

 

[Johnny5]

NICE! i like the triangulation of the framing i ran into the same trouble with my v-bottom(no support) so ive been holding off for some better ideas...do you think that a 200+ man could stand in the nose with no sagging?

 

[snowboardinmn]

im not sure im still going to add vertical supports so i could not tell you

 

[alumacraftjoe]

Looking good!

 

[muskie man]

good good

 

[snowboardinmn]

well i got some work done i added vertical supports to my deck. it is way way stronger that i could ever think it was going to be. i also extended the deck about 5 inches past the front seat. Thats where im planning to add my seat post. the picture of just the one beam is a support for my flat floor. tell me what you think

 

[Ron42261]

How did you attach your vertical supports to the boat??
Have you any pics that show the surports?
Im trin to figure out what Im gona do for my front deck in a V bottom

Thanks

 

[Ron42261]

Forgot what kind of plywood are you using and how thick is it?
Thanks Ron

 

[muskie man]

oh ya!! =D>

 

[snowboardinmn]

i used 1/2 green treated plywood then i water sealed it with thompsons water sealer.
and i used l brackets and some self tapping screws to attach them to the ribs sure ill get some pictures up for you v hull guys. v hulls are the way to go i say ha

 

[snowboardinmn]

well i got carpet on and the front hatch on. i still need to add a fish finder and screw it all down. also need to do some more paint. the wood is a little warped but with hinges it should be fine
