Hello, nice job about your intex boat, I also did modifications of boat excursion 5. I also made hard floor but my design is different. I used long wooden boards and to them I screwed another boards positioned sideways. I also used soft pipe isolation for the edges of the floor and I put cloth only underneath. I also put custom motor mount screwed to the hard floor and tested 25hp old outboard on my excursion 5. I have a video on my profile everyone can see.

Wait a second, why not use PIPES instead of wood? Thick insulated pipes add buoyancy as well. This is what I'll be using.

@theeggheadlabs 2 года назад

Pipes are a good alternative as long as they are strong enough not to be bent while you stand on the board.

@JulesBrunoJjBaggy 2 года назад

Cool build and thanks for making the video. You could probably avoid the railings poking into the bottom when you stand on the inner edge of the aft and stern pieces by adding intersecting railings to the bottom of the center piece I think.

@theeggheadlabs 2 года назад

Thanks for the comment. I am sure there could be other better alternatives. :-)

Hello, thanks for sharing your video. What type of glue did you use for the foam?

@theeggheadlabs 2 года назад

Thanks for watching. The glue was Behr's Waterproofing Sealer. The link is listed in the description.

I just bought the excursion 4 and want to put a floor on. Due to storage and portability I will need to have 3 sections like yours. But I don't think I will have enough room in the car if I were to put rails on like you did. They look great, and I wish I could, but I wouldn't be able to fit them will all my other gear. Do you think this would be sturdy enough without the rails. Maybe using 1/2" ply wood? I also thought about using the foam pipe covering all all edges of each section and not just around the perimeter. Do you think that might help with stability if I don't use rails? thank you in advance for your advice and wisdom!

@theeggheadlabs Год назад

I am glad to hear that you are working on a similar floor plan with three sections. Without the rails, I am afraid the three pieces of floor sections would not be sturdy enough, especially while you step on the edge, unless the floor is a whole piece. I understand that you would have 3 sections for easy storage. Here is my 2 cents idea, without the rails while still achieving the needed stability, by installing some type of hinges or fasteners between any two sections. Hope this helps. Good luck!

hey i did a project like this couple of years ago. what i ended up doing is I used 3/4 inch plywood cut in two pieces. to make it feel like one piece you will need stringers on the edges connecting the two pieces of plywood. I bought 1" round aluminum stock 12" long and cut square groove 3/4 " in it. I also added H-profile 3/4" to seamlessly join two pieces. It works fantastic for me. I never had time to make a video of it but I hope you got the idea. If i have to do it once more I would probably go with 1/2" plywood and added three 1x3" ribs to the floor because 3/4 plywood is a bit heavy.

Thank you. Please let us know how it's working for you with use.

@theeggheadlabs 2 года назад

Thanks for watching. It works well.

What are you using to inflate your boat? The small 12v one I bought takes forever so I just do it by hand.

@theeggheadlabs 2 года назад

INTEX Electric Pump (rechargeable). See the part 2 of this series.

@CreekRanger Год назад

We use a Ryobi high volume inflator we will soon put up a video on this and on how our whole boat fits in a Husky rolling toolbox.

@Jenda1M1 2 года назад

hello, can you advise me what cloth you used to cover the floor? Thank you

@theeggheadlabs 2 года назад

It is area carpet. See the video at 5:10 for detail description.

Hi, great video, whats the internal length of the IE5?

@theeggheadlabs 2 года назад

The longest internal length at the middle is about 100 inches. the length near the side reduces to 91 inches. See the detailed measurements in the video at about 30".

@markweatherall7437 2 года назад
