This series is exactly what I was looking for. I just picked up a 14' Mirrocraft Vhull right before it started snowing here and been itching to get started. It is really cool to have a detailed series going through the process, as this is my 1st boat and have alot more confidence than I had a couple weeks ago. Thanks!

@JoeTafoya69 2 года назад

Same situation! Wish I had a garage

@heavyd777 2 года назад

Lol, I have the opposite problem. It's too hot in the summer here in Florida but I can't wait to get started.

@hammer9856 2 года назад

Nice job! Yours looks way cleaner than the one a did. I used a very similar method on my 14' v-bottom. But mine had a transition from vertical spines in the back to horizontal (like your boat) in the front that made it a little more tricky to lay out and level properly. The back was easy, the front section was an absolute bear to frame so that it would be level with the back framing. In front I used angle aluminum much the same as you did (but I used square tubing for the main beam (for strength) along with angle on the sides of it (to give it some extra width) and then tied in some angle like you did from the spines to the center main beam). Unfortunately I don't have those nice power tools you do, so I had to use hand tools to cut and rivet. It was a pain in the hands (and a55). Yours is shaping up to be a great build. Looking forward to seeing it progress.

I do like the slowed down process of this! I’m currently trying to finish my 1870 Big Jon V that I’ve done once and then decided this last fall after the tournament season was over to rip into again! I think I found where I slacked the last time, and definitely improved areas. I also added about a foot to my front deck. I’ve got everything framed, and I’ve got most of my wiring redone, I’ve added some more lighting, I now just need to make it up to get my hatch lids from Nate, I only live about an hour and half from his shop! I will doing my deck in turf this time as well. And I’ve definitely added more foam to mine this time around. I went with the pink board though, because it is a flat bottom and my subfloor I didn’t take too high up to allow room for deeper compartments, so I didn’t want any water just sitting on the pour foam!

@alanroberts3765 2 года назад

I’m seriously considering gutting all the work I’ve put into my boat and redoing the subfloor again. I didn’t do it anywhere close to this. I tried to seal the entire thing like you did previously on a flat bottom jon boat.

@TinyBoatNation 2 года назад

I would just keep going with it. If you're not too far in the process then think about it but if you're pretty far in I would just finish it

How come you don't add " feet" to the vertical support? I believe it would help spread the point of pressure on the hull .. thanks

@TinyBoatNation 2 года назад

You can do that. It’s sitting right in the gusset so it doesn’t seem like an issue. I may change it

@kylemeagher689 Год назад

Hey man, I have a 1965 crestliner sportsman 16 ft boat . Similar to this boat , where the floor is flat at the back and gradually tappers to a v. Not super deep tho. I have 4 benches . My question is , if I remove those benches and add this subfloor will it compromise the structure and stability of the boat?

@jeffdortch4190 2 года назад

First off love the videos will be buying a subfloor kit soon. When dining the foam I'm not getting with the garden hose Is for ??

@TinyBoatNation 2 года назад

It's for draining water that collects to the side.

@TimHaunFishing 2 года назад

Been waiting for this one. Do you have a strong preference to v or flat hull of stability and longevity are your priority?

@TinyBoatNation 2 года назад

I favor v hulls

@timherschbach7682 2 года назад

How do you know the boat is level? Better way would be to set a straight edge (2x4) across the top of boat (Across Gunnels) and measure down. That is the Eziest way I’ve found in my builds. That way if boat isn’t Exactly Level…..which is difficult. Most boat subfloors go right to the top of each rib. Probably Really close to where your ending up with your frame. FYI. Just a suggestion for the viewers. But all in all I love your videos. Very informative.

@TinyBoatNation 2 года назад

I will mention this in my next video

@paulwilliamanderson9421 2 года назад

Are you still actively redoing this, or is it on the backburner? I was searching on yours, Fireant's and Anthony Jones' pages for deep v builds with all aluminum framing. My Mirrocraft drain channel was plugged by the former owner's hatchet paint job. Will be doing your setup going forward and am looking forward to the framing section!

@kendallhuseman3685 2 года назад

I am in the process of using angle 1x1 by 1/16" to build my subfloor. My concern with using 2 part foam is will it become waterlogged if an issue was to occur? I pulled out 460lbs of wet foam from the boat and I am really concerned with the same thing happening again down the road. I like the idea of it chemically bonding to the hull and helping with sound dampening. Looking for advice. I don't ever want to rip out foam again. Plan to build all framing out of angle aluminum. I have a V hull starcraft boat 16'.

@TinyBoatNation 2 года назад

If you do not take care of your boat, yes

@kendallhuseman3685 2 года назад

@@TinyBoatNation thanks. Just obtained this boat from my uncle and it sat for 20 years uncovered. I plan to put foam in the compartments and bench seats above the water line to prevent sinking. I really don't want to put foam below the water line in the boat as it is a nightmare when it gets wet. Thanks for the info

I have a 14x48 Smoker Craft Alaskan that was completely gutted before I got it. I've been going back and forth on the sub floor and this is my answer. I probably won't pour foam but I will fill with pink foam. Super excited to see this build progress.

I have been watching your videos to gain strength and venture into that change, I have a Lowen 1667 model 2000. My question is: How long have your modifications lasted due to the pop rivets, and if these modifications affect the floor or the magazines by loosening them or making Are there cracks in the floor? Thank you, greetings from Mexico (Tampico, Tamps)

Milwaukee rivet tool. It will handle all size rivets, except for 1/4.

@joshhead9368 10 месяцев назад

Hey sorry if you already mentioned it, but is it possible to out the fllor level with the waterline to increase underfloor storage or would that compromise stability. Love the channel man thanks alot.

@TinyBoatNation 10 месяцев назад

I would not cut any framing out in the subfloor. You can put foam elsewhere, but the subfloor still needs to be rigid.

@DMllr66 5 месяцев назад

Alright this might be a stupid question but do you have to rivet it t the ribs or can you make the sub floor removable

Pan out the bottom and leave the middle channel for water drainage. The pour foam on the pan section. I would leave the 4 inch middle part without any for a drain and for my wires and other stuff to run.

@sinelocum 2 года назад

Such a cool build. I love this whole approach. Such a nice ride in a v-bottom, and especially love the deep bow on some of the older Lund v-bottom skiffs. That said I’m looking for a flat-bottom 1648, or maybe even a 1752 or 1852, to build. It makes sense what you’re saying about storage space, plus it seems like the flat-bottoms are less likely to get hung up on stuff in skinny water. Also I want to put space for a small berthing area towards the stern for overnight hunting trips when I’m not using it for fishing, so I’d like a few extra feet of length. Hey I’m curious about something - some boatbuilders caution against the use of a level when working on boats. They instead talk about using squares, compass calipers, dividers, triangles, rulers, contour gauges, and other tools like that to ensure precision and uniformity. Is the boat on a level work surface? Are the port and starboard gunwales are precisely level from bow to stern? How is she riding in the water? Does she sit flat, or does she list to one side?

@maddgoatee9708 2 года назад

Looking great there. I have similar boat style with those ribs. Water exiting thru and to the back is a head scratcher. Maybe making holes thru the ribs down the middle. Curious to see what you come up with.

@cadenhuskey9357 Год назад

Would there be anything wrong with only doing the back half of the boat with sub floor and pour foam?

@TinyBoatNation Год назад

No reserve boyancy if you spear a wave.

@@TinyBoatNation Thanks for the response! So what should I do if I have a bench in the front and back but don’t want to remove them? That’s the issue, it’s a 14ft Tracker that someone took out the middle bench and decked it all with wood.
