    VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
    Thank you for tuning into the new episode of Project Wilson. We are turning this 15’ Fisher Jon Boat into a Tiny Boat! 25hp Mercury Outboard motor, 24v Minnkota Bow Mount Trolling motor, marine batteries, casting decks, livewell, fish finders, electronics, recessed foot control tray, hydroturf…this boat will be awesome! None of it would be possible without the help of Tiny Boat Nation! SUBSCRIBE so don’t miss a beat! Tight Lines!
    In this video I will show you how I added Casting Deck Framing from angle aluminum to the jon boat to bass boat conversion or restoration. Starting with a sketch helps tremendously. The aftermarket boat hatches were powder coated black and look amazing. You can find them on the Tiny Boat Nation website if your interested. We are going to be running an aluminum deck. Counter sink rivets, aluminum hinges and 1.5" angle aluminum in 1/16" diameter are a majority of the materials used. We did also use some standard rivets. A minimalistic but strong front deck will be in this boat, with no chance of rotting from adding wood to a boat.

    I have the utmost appreciation for how you do these videos. Something that sets you and a very few others apart from the herd is the explanations of why you are doing what you do, as well as why something did or did not work.

      @@fireantfishing I wouldn't change your format or methods at all. Even if it means shorter, and thus more, videos to cover any process, the content is what is important. It's easy to push buttons on a phone or cpu and watch another video...it is not so easy to find videos with actually valuable content. Keep it up!

    I actually loved this video. I follow a few different channels as I try and prepare for my first attempt at a modification on our new Jon boat and this was so great because it flowed slowly since it was uncut raw footage. The benefit for us newbies is we really get to watch the process unfold. Each pause while you’re thinking lets us do the same as we try and see if what we’re thinking is what you’re thinking, which is really helpful in “quizzing” our new comprehension and confirming that we’re building upon our knowledge and understanding. Thanks for sharing so we can get better without having to make as many mistakes along the way!! 👊🏻

    What thickness is aluminum plate for construction?

    @fishntools Před rokem

    Being right handed I would have positioned the motor controller off center to the right and had room for the seat pedestal. Think about it, control in center means I have to stand off center on my left to use it, thereby off balancing the boat.
    PS- fyi, the white side foam was in excellent condition and is far more buoyant then the pink, test it and you'll see.

    What thickness angle did you use for the deck and the floor ?

  • @buddytheweasel
    @buddytheweasel Před 3 lety

    This is amazing. I'm trying to start planning my own, which is an older model Lund WC14, with the 3 bench seats, not like the newer one with the split seats in the back, and that will probably make everything easier. But I can't seem to understand how to start with the subfloor, and if I need side rails to help mount the deck on. There's no ribs up in the front, two in the middle and they seem very shallow, so if I try to use 1.5" angled alum, it'll be taller than the rib. I guess I could use 1/16", made into an open U shape upside down over the ribs, but if it's taller then I won't be able to rivet it to the ribs. SMH

    Do you have a video explaining how to rivet the side rails in? This seems a little daunting to me and there’s not a lot covering above the water line

    i know that this video was 3 years ago but judging from how long it takes you to drill them holes with that shitty drill bit lim guessing you are still working on this build. 1/4 of the video was drilling like 2 holes. jokes aside it looks good
