I love the reality of figuring it out and breaking things along the way. So relatable, except for your calm attitude, I'm cursing at that cutting wheel!
Ha ha. I've learned to take several deep breathes and keep going lol.
Oh the joys of manufacturing. You're doing a good job for your first try at it. I look forward to seeing the finished product.
Thanks Marlin. It's been tough but rewarding at the same time 👍🏾
Nice work! You really should use some spray foam to fill in the foam gaps though.
Also, where did you purchase the aluminum sheeting?
Where did you the aluminum for the sub floor at?
Ordered my Pelican Raider 10e, but COVID got it held hostage at the Canadian Border.....lmao. Hopefully, it arrives soon. Love the Jon Boat project nice!!!
I remember picking mine up from Dick's. I was like a kid in a candy store. Enjoy your new boat my friend. Hope you get it soon.
Could’ve fill holes with 2 part foam help make up for extra weight just a thought 👍
What gauge of aluminum sheeting did you use for the subfloor?? Awesome build I followed the whole thing
Hopefully not too far off-topic. Have you ever done a temporary/removable/drop-in bow casting platform?
Me and my daughter have a similar project planned for this summer.
Excellent. Perfect family project. 👍🏾🤙🏾
You really should rivet the braces to the ribs. Pu
t a piece or rubber tubing over the drill to keep it from going to deep.
rtfabian. You're right. I actually ended up riveting the braces down later and it made the structure more solid. Thanks for the tip. The rubber tubing is also a great idea instead of free handling it. 👍🏾💯
When putting your carpeted plywood decking on, do you just lay it on top of framing or do you tack it down.
New sub working on my own build. This series has been helpful. I'm in the DMV area as well. Where did you get your aluminum from? Especially the sheets?
Got it from Metal Supermarkets. Call them for the best prices.
awesome series on this build.
Thanks!
Best build video ever
Thanks
Great job my friend! Took some ideas from this for mine.
Awesome 👍🏾 🤙🏾
Where are you getting the aluminum and what size is it
Metal Supermarket
Won’t the stainless steel screws cause corrosion with the aluminum?
It's the best option I know of.
You can always rivet those spots too
Where in the DMV is the best place for walleye fishing? And nice job on the boat I think its time for me to upgrade from a kayak
Unfortunately there's nor allot of places to fish for walleye in the DMV. You may want to try Loch Raven reservoir.
I know I’m late but I’m ready to work on a build now. Only thing holding me up is a drain plug. I bought the boat for $200.(fixed leaks and painted it) It’s a older model and didn’t come with a drain. so I don’t know if all this will work without a place for water to drain. Any advice? My main question is why go through all that with the front deck if your going to cover it with a casting deck? I didn’t plan on doing that but will if it’s necessary?
The subfloor is good to have for supporting you batteries and whatever you will be storing in your hatches. It also looks better. Not a necessity but good to have.
Amazing!
Looking good!
Appreciate it Dpuck. Can't wait to finish and get it out on the water!!!
Very nice!
Thanks for watching Hank!!!
in the livewell, is there a thru-hull there directly under your center seat? i am fixing a polar kraft and trying to find replacement thru-hull that is strong but will not lead to electrolysis. any info would be helpful. thanks!
Yes there is. It's factory made so I don't know much about it besides that it's made out of rubber.
@@BassBrothersFishingDMV Thank you sir!
Great job on your build!
what thickness of aluminum did you use for the sides and subfloor
I used .090 for the sub floor and some of the side walls. I would go lighter next time. Probably .063 to save on weight.
@@BassBrothersFishingDMV alright thanks
Why size screw did you use on the ribs to avoid coming out to f the bottom?
I used Teks 1 - 7/16 self drilling wood to metal screws. Sold al Home Depot. It worked perfectly with 1/2" plywood. Keep in mind your carpet thickness as well. Every inch matters.
@@BassBrothersFishingDMV I’m getting closer and closer to giving this a shot on my boat. I bought a 12ft and it already had a half decent build but I want to make it better and with aluminum.
@@Mavejar520 cool. How wide is the hull ?
@@BassBrothersFishingDMV it’s 44 inches and the front narrows to 34. I know it isn’t ideal.
@@Mavejar520 that's not too bad. Pay close attention to weight. Enjoy the process though. Good luck with your build.
What thickness angle metal is that?
1/8"
What size thickness is that aluminum sheeting?
I used .019, 0.25 and .090. The thickness all depends on the application.
.019 was used for extremely light applications where I just needed to cover something up
.025 I used for side panels for my hatch and rod locker
.090 was used as sub flooring
Ok cool! I’m wanting to deck my top deck in aluminum instead wood just trying to figure out how thick I should use! Thanks man! Sweet build! Looking forward to seeing you on water with it!
@@justinpuhnaty Instead of Plywood? Wont that be hot on the feet?
If you’re every in Frederick md and need metal or anything cut. Hit me up
I'll keep that in mind WesTec.
U need to take that gopro off your head put it on a stand i want to watch your video but it hard when it steady .owing all the time
Most of the remaining vids are on a stand.
