Tiny Boat Build - How to add Flooring to your Aluminum BOAT

- I have been using my 12 foot aluminum boat a lot recently and wanted to make it more fishable. The challenge for me is that I could not make it too heavy because I do not and cannot have a trailer for this boat. I would love to have added a big deck, storage , new Trolling motor and more but it would be too heavy so I opted to just add some flooring so that I would have a flat platform to fish from.

The biggest thing is you tackled the project, and your fishing! Thanks for making the video brother. Keep up the good work and here's to tight lines!!! 👍🏼
Respect for making this! 😂 Thanks for being honest about experience and expectations.
Badass! I need to do this. Just got me 12ft v hull.
Bro that definitely helped me I just bought one. So definitely helped me
Very useful. Thanks
This looks alot like my next big summer project. Just got an 11 foot aluminum boat
Nope you are doing fine bro. I'm trying to do the same to my boat. Thanks for the tips
Great video, and I have the same Sports Authority weights, they'll be antinques pretty soon! :D
I know this video is old but honestly I would have just went with the 4x8 foam board. It would double as the support and weighs nothing. Meaning you could use thinner plywood for the bottom. Especially since you lift it often.
How does the water drain from the front of boat to back.
What do you do when your boat bottom has no interior cross members? My boats rigidity comes from having 5 keels so there is nothing to rivet to on the inside.
Slay Nation does jon boat tournaments and series. There's a northern cali group.
Great job bro but would you recommend doing this to a Jon boat or v haul that you can only row in? Seems like you lose a lot of leg space.
So no frame just foam it, how is that leveled? How does the plywood stick?
1/2 inch plywood?
Is it easier to stand up with 2 ppl like that??
Can someone make a video of installing seats back Into one where the bench seats were removed. My 12 ft didn't come with seats
That spray foam will hold water
Gets very heavy.
Yep closed cell foam is choice
I have the exact same Jon boat boutta do the same shit lol good vid
I was curious about mold or mildew when foam filling?
Don’t foam fill!!
Is this a 12 ft?
Black interior = hot
Cardboard supports underneath ? Should last 🙄
That isn't closed cell foam. It will soak up water over time. 👎
If it is leaking just tighten the rivots
Someone teach this man how to add music to his videos.
If you want music there are a ton of other places you can look…
Most of the time Adding music to an instructional video is too loud and annoying. Glad he didn't
No...
Please NO MUSIC!
No music please lol
Yet another aluminum boat destroyed. Spray foam and plywood will ALWAYS become saturated and add 100 pounds of wet mush to the boat. First: Fix the forward bench. Drill out the rivets. Remove, straighten, reinstall. I can't see the logic in repainting a buckled bench.
Next: find the leaky rivets and using a hammer and dolly, re-tighten them.
Another tip: Instead of using your wife's rolling pin to press the flooring down, use something smaller so your weight is focused on a couple of square inches instead of being dispersed under a wide roller. The "pounds per square inch" increases proportionately.
At least you didn't use carpet.

Your eyes were showing fatigue from the aerosol and the paint. Take care of your body.
I spent 2 years with cancer and I'll spend the rest of my life with the side effects from the treatments.
I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Please, if you know, you have no clue what you're doing. Do more research. You will regret this long term. Sure, it will be a learning experience. But with what you spent, you could have done a much better job. Within a year, you will be ripping this all out or getting rid of the boat.
