In this video I will show you the simplest way I know how to install a floor in your jon boat. Very simple. Very easy. DIY friendly!
A customer dropped off his 15ft #trackerboats Topper with #brigadeboats and had a few requests. 1) add a bit more storage. I accomplished that with my last video, Turn Your Jon Boat Bench Into Storage. 2) add a floor system, #jonboattobassboat style! That's what I will show you in this video!
The customer wanted a budget friendly floor to provide a good place for his young son to venture through out the boat during a day on the water. Jon boat aluminum hulls get hot and dangerous for kids, let alone adults tripping over the ribs! There is a solution! I will show you mine in this video.
To add a jon boat floor the simple way, I show in this video step by step. I'll show all materials and tools needed. I'll show you my process with some tips and tricks along the way. Take what you can away from it and improve upon the design if you see fit! I hope this video is of some service to you.
Talking to you on camera helps me not talk to the voices inside my head. Thanks for watching, hope this helps someone with their project!

@johndecker3080 2 года назад

I like the workmanship and simplicity. I added my own modification. Instead of screwing the floor to the boat ribs, I put two stainless steel hinges on one end (to the bench) so the floor lifts up so that if water gets into the boat, you can lift the floor and let it dry between trips to the lake. Now the floor and the side storage boxes all lift up.

I love your work and attention to detail is on point! Quick tip on your rib notching...use a hole saw the size of your rib width and then cut from the outside of your ply with your jig saw for super clean cuts. Great video either way!!!

@georgealexander9427 Год назад

I modified my Tracker 1436 similarly but used insulation on the sidewalls covered with Luan panels and carpet. Front and rear trolling motors and dual fish finders, pedestal seat mounts, and remote anchors completed the upgrades. Electrical runs enclosed in split tubing assured reliability. I heated the boat with Coleman lanters on the floor fore and aft. Even in the dead cold of winter, the insulation worked so well that I would fish in shirt sleeves as anything else had me sweating. Night lites rounded out the project. I kept it for 7 years, selling it only after buying a brand new Tracker 175 Pro TX. LOVE your channel! Keep the goodies flowing.

@dwaynebrewton9482 2 дня назад

Great budget job. I would have sealed both sides of plywood because most leaks occur below deck.

@eduffy4937 2 года назад

I did the same type of setup for my river jet sled. I put aluminum riv-nuts in the floor board so i can easily take it out with star knobs. Sand build up bad in there with lots of kids, and any bilge water early and late in mn freezes up which creates a ton of extra weight. Removable flooring lets me blow it out with my hotsy pressure washer.

Just what I was looking for. Great video! I have a 1984 16/52 Monark which I found corrosion in the bottom do to previous owner care. I’m learning as I go on this project as this is my first aluminum boat. Had I known what I know now I would’ve found another boat to work on. The floor I removed had treated plywood on the bottom topped with sheet metal pieces (old signs) and hide by a nice looking none slip flooring material , looked great when I purchased it thinking I’ll have fun fixing up the motor since I am a mechanic which I did. Then I started on the boat and found things I had to pay someone to weld etc.. I have spent hours removing corrosion. I want to keep an eye on it so I was looking for an easy way to build a removable floor. Also the middle bench has been removed and I watched you use hat channel in another video but I can’t locate the small amount I need? I have a thousand questions on this project so I’m going to watch the rest of your videos. I’d bring you the boat but I’m in Texas. So keep up the good work and thanks again.

@gunnergause6028 2 года назад

Very informative videos. I’ve been restoring and building boats for years now, can I make a friendly suggestion? When you put resin on plywood it works much better if you mix 50/50 resin and acetone. This lets the resin saturate into the wood instead of float on the surface. Definitely do the underside as well. PS- double up on hardner (MEK) when you mix 50/50 resin and acetone. Good luck sir.

@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats 2 года назад

Thank you. I will try this. I appreciate your advice!

@dougbradshaw9148 Год назад

@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats Have you tried the 50/50 on anything yet. Would like to know your opinion.

@mazaratee1548 2 года назад

Great video and thanks for showing each step along the way. Do you think the plywood could be substituted with pegboard instead? Since the foam is underneath and providing rigidity and with the resin covering it should hold. Any thoughts or things to consider?

@kewlboss 3 года назад

How much do you charge for this and the bench storage ?

@ShaneZettelmier 2 года назад

That’s funny, I refurbished a boat one time in my life and I did exactly what you wanted against with the carpet. I don’t think I put too much glue on it because I used the little tool with the grooves but I think I over rolled it and ended up having some of the glue start to come up through the carpet, luckily I stopped once I noticed it and everything worked out good but they were a couple areas that were a bit stiff. If I didn’t use the tool with the notches I’m pretty sure I would’ve put way too much glue on there and destroyed it.

@ChuckRiley123 Год назад

How could I locate someone in Dallas Ft Worth TX area to do a similar floor project in a 14’ vee aluminum StarCraft fishing boat?

@slabslayer258 4 месяца назад

Check you local laws on faux floors in boats also . In Texas if you add a faux floor to a boat you are required to carry a fire extinguisher . Vs if you just have open floor like a lot of Jon boats are sold as from the dealer then fire extinguisher isn’t required .

@predator_boiz336 Месяц назад

What does something like this cost? Does the plywood add a lot of weight ? Would it be better to do the floor out of aluminum for weigh reduction? Or is the plywood not much of a difference

@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats 10 месяцев назад

No. The boat floats without any foam. The foam is there in case you flip the boat over in the water or in case it takes on A LOT of water to help you stay afloat a bit longer before sinking.

Hey Cousin! Having recently inherited a 16ft jon boat, I've been studying your amazing mod techniques! How did you handle the carpet folds on the rib notches? Folding, cutting, both? I've seen your videos on carpeting inside and outside corners, but this is different. Love your work!

@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats Год назад

One cut down the middle, then from center make a bunch of diagonal cuts. Envision the rib cutout now overlap that with how youd cut a pizza. Basically you end up with a whole bunch of triangles you can manipulate around and staple to the back. Hard to explain, hope that helps

Anthony when coating the plywood in the fiberglass resin to you coat both sides or just top and sides?

@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats 2 года назад

I used to do both sides. It doesn't hurt. In reality the bottom will only soak water if the boat is really flooded. So, for time, cost, material savings, i now just coat the tops and sides. Hope this helps.

@haider8167 Год назад

Thanks for the video… did you glue the foam to the bottom of the boat?

@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats Год назад

I believe in this one it's just floating. The plywood sandwiches it in tight. You can glue if you want to hold it in place but one the wood is down it doesn't go anywhere.

@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats Год назад

I don't use marine grade.I use 1/2 inch "exterior" grade. The exterior grade is rated for exterior home sheathing and the plys are glued with water resistant glue to prevent delamination if it gets moisture in it. Still coat in resin.

@mranderson2278 2 года назад

I'm doing the exact same build on an almost identical boat. After curing the wood with the resin is it absolutely necessary to sand it before applying the glue for the carpet ? Also on the "benches" I'm carpeting those as well I've sanded them down to the bate aluminum,do I just apply the same carpet glue directly the the aluminum then lay my carpet? Or do I have to treat or prep the aluminum surface with anything first ? Thank you for any help

@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats 2 года назад

I sand the resin because sometimes there are clumps, bumps, or surface imperfections that could affect the carpet job. Also, the resin comes out slick and waxy, not a great surface for glue to bind to. I highly recommend spending an extra 10 mins to hit it with some 60 grit to at least scuff it up some, nothing crazy if you don't want, anything is better than nothing. On the bare aluminum, yes, just apply the glue then carpet. I use carpet glue or contact cement. Not to confuse you, a full new how to carpet video coming soon showing what glues i use on what parts and materials and how i carpet a full boat using different techniques. Thanks

Bondo brand fiberglass resin is polyester resin. If you want your floors to last more than a few years you should consider using epoxy resin. Polyester resins delaminate and crack quicker than epoxy. It’ll work but it won’t last as long.

@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats 2 месяца назад

Use whatever resin you want. You know what Basstracker uses from the factory on their wood decking? Nothing. Anything is better than nothing.
