1. Use 1/4 or 3/8" plywood instead of OSB, OSB will flake apart when exposed to water, even when waterproofed. OSB is also much heavier than 1/4" or 3/8" plywood. 2. For easier transport, you can cut the wood flooring into 3 pieces, rather than 1 large board. 3. Always install the floor boards before fully inflating the Excursion, inflate about 2/3rds full and wedge the flooring into the raft.
My two year old sits and watches your videos with me!😂🤷🏽♀️ She likes you and she said tell your daughters hello! Thank you sooo much for including measurements!🙌🏽

Quá tuyệt vời bạn ơi!
Perfect explanation
Great video!!!! I think I will do 2 parts.
Thank you for this good information 🙏
Thank you for watching😊
Cool boat with very nice inflatable floor on which you can easily stand.
Why do so many people need wooden floor ?
To make boat heavier , harder to transport ?
To have less space in the boot if your car ?
Very cool! I want to put something together like this using an Excursion 5 as the base as well.
I read the Intex mount can handle up to around a 3hp engine but I wanted to run a 6hp outboard so I was considering reinforcing the floor at the back (extra to the already fitted hardboard floor as you've done here which if you don't mind I'm going to shamelessly copy!) and welding up a mount to bolt to the reinforced section.
Then I'd use the intex mount in conjunction with the home made mount to spread the load and stresses out more evenly.
I've even considered fitting a central rib of wood under the floor in the centre with curved ends and pipe lagging padding to add a little bit of a 'V' to the underside to help manoeuvring... I am worried that might stress the inflatable boat floor though! I guess some expanding foam carved to shape to fill the gap a little might help though!
Thanks I’m not mine. Enjoy and have a great time😊

I hope to for sure! You too! 😊

Thanks for the video, are you able to put the floor on SUV roof rack and drive on the highway?
Thanks for watching. Yes I did put it on the roof but I have not drive on highway.
Great video. I just bought this bought where did you get the motor mount extensions? I can’t find them
roddensworld Thanks, it’s
electrical pipe you can get it from the Home Depot(10 Ft and cut in half)
Nice thank you
@@memike9621 Whats the diameter? 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch pipe?
@@pipcatchers1979 1/2 inch thank you for watching
Thanks for the video! Where did you get longer motor mount arms?
Mehmet T it’s

@@memike9621 what width is the pipe?
Rob M. Electrical pipe
@@memike9621 Do you remember if it is 1/2, 3/4 or 1 inch pipe?
Rob M. 1/2
Also do you still pump the bottom when you add the floor?
roddensworld yes I did
Great Job!!
Where were did you buy this from? I am having a hard time getting one at a decent price.
Thanks man. The boat? I got it from Amazon
Dont buy this boat for more than 150 dollars. Its up to 300 now and not worth that much. I bought mine in Feb. of this year, right before covid happened and paid 120 delivered.
ctdvargas the price now is double of what I paid😱
@@ctdvargas got so expensive
Found mine on Amazon.
hello, can you advise me what cloth you used to cover the floor? Thank you
Thanks for watching, I used thin outdoor carpet
Is the aluminum pipe going through the Oar placements 1 inch or 1 1/2inch?
Thanks for watching, I used 1 inches electrical pipe
Hey buddy. I've just ordered this exact model can you post the exact dimensions you cut the plywood and what type you used?
Thanks for watching, I used plywood(any plywood would work but make sure you stain it) as for dimensions it’s 8ft long and for the side 36” wide narrow down to 34” to the front. Hope it helps.
Please help me with floor. Can I buy one off of you.
Awesome job so it’s an 8 foot board and across 35 inches , top 34 I Inches.
Correct
Thanks. Yes correct
The holes you drilled for the zip ties don't have waterproofing in them. This will still rot.
Maybe drilling the holes before adding two coats of water sealant might help. I am doing mine tomorrow.
Good job where did you get the csrpet
Lauri Massey thanks Marine indoor/outdoor carpet from Home Depot
Do you carpet both sides or just the top
Thanks for watching both sides
What size of the plywood board ur use?
Thanks for watching, I used 1/4” lightweight plywood board.
can you make floor and sell one to me? I am not handy...thanks!
Can you stand on the boat with the new floor?
Thanks for watching, yes we can. Please Check my video czcams.com/video/Ob6VjPTe_QA/video.html
Great vid thanks, whats the wood sheet called please?
Thanks for watching, I used lightweight plywood😊
@@memike9621 Yes great to watch you and ideas. Would you say about 6mm, 8mm or 10mm marine plywood to be exact?
I used 6mm
@@memike9621 Thanks for confirming you uesd 6mm.
@@memike9621 Been told by my timber merchant that you used OSB wood sheet and NOT plywood.
Same idea as “Take It’s” video.

Have a nice day
