Took 4 days, a few hours every night after work. I got the carpet for free off a friend, and the aluminum rail too. More will be added soon but a big improvement already.
Good idea about the aluminum bars and brackets, the issues that you pointed out at the end of the video can all be fixed. Thank you for making and sharing the video.
Big tip for anyone doing this as I have done it myself! Measure 5x cut ONCE!!! You made your boat look great It just needs to be 100% functional as well! Tight lines bud!
Thanks for the video! I have a similar boat and i am on a budget... cant do the whole boat and insulate it. This will work great and thank for the price it costed you. Gave me an idea of what i need to spend. Thanks and great video
cool man, i did something similar with my boat too. As far as your hatch I just used a couple 2x2s on the sides and it seemed to work to hold my weight. Anyways good luck out there
Looks good. Every year after salmon season I redo my 14' valco. Liquid nails works great for the carpet. Just spread it all over the side of the wood where the carpet will go on, Just saying. It's a pain to get that 1st piece cut right to fit into the front of a boat too.
That's awesome! Gives me a reason to keep mine for 1 or two more years. Just curious, why didn't you go longer with the deck to have more room for casting for two people?
Отличная работа!Только фанеру надо было обработать лаком ,а потом ковролин к ней приклеить водостойким клеем...А так фанера может от воды набухнуть...Успехов!
@@LiLoTech Be careful. There are several different formulas for treating wood. Your experience may be different than someone elses. Not saying it will or won't just sayin...
The door on the vatican is made of wood and it is 2,000 years old. Wood has been used since the beginning of boat building as a suitable material. When the all steel Titanic went down the lucky passengers all climbed into little wooden boats and sailed away to safety. The point is that if its done right then wood is fine....if it's done wrong it doesn't matter what material you use....you're going to sink
What's the point of this "casting deck" thing on bass boats and similar? You can't just stand on the floor of the boat to fish? You're only gaining a foot or so in height, and obviously increasing the instability of the boat. If you must do something, makes far more sense to just carpet the floor.
@@mikepowell8958 .. Lol. Okay, I completely forgot about this comment. It's been roughly two years and I haven't received any notifications of replies until now. I do have to admit your argument is the strongest yet. Something to look at while waiting for the fish to bite.
