Nice, I like your layout, can't wait to see her complete!

Nice boat, I would just attach it to the seat, vibration shouldn't be a issue. I modded my starcraft and vibration was greatly reduced.

Welcome to the site, I think what your looking for is Polystyrene Foam Board Insulation. Lowes should have this in stock. Just cut to size and glue with some construction adhesive. I would use stainless sheet metal screws for everyting. I used square aluminum tubing for my front deck that I got...

Well, I had her out on the Seneca River, she floats nice, stable in the water! Everything out of the way so I can fish, I'd say my mods are a success, even fixed the small leak, she's dry as a bone. I think I'm gonna have to get a more powerful motor. The old Eska starts and runs good, but...

Here she is, the Delyghte is ready to go on the water. Taking her out in the morning(4/18). Excited to she how she performs.

My first boat and v-boat mod. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=36330

Just about finished with this mod, made some rod holders and installed a anchor mate. Stumbled across a 50 lb thrust minn kota on clearance at Wal-mart for 150.00. Can't wait till spring! :D

Thanks dude, I was gonna do it all in the gray carpet, then one day while walking through the automotive section at Wal-mart. I come across some 3' x 5' rolls of camo carpet. Not really carpet, but thick felt. It's 12 bucks a roll and 2 rolls did the job. Works great for what I did with it.

Here's a few pics of my progress, rear deck, bilge pump and carpet. Bolted down the seats.

Finished the bow casting/storage deck, made with repurposed materials.

Thanks for the tips, I do have a plan for the side rigidity and the foam. The floor is roughly 4' x 8' and 3" thick, I'm going to attach a sheet of plywood to the top side, flip it over and fill all the voids with expansion foam. Trim off the access and a 4' x 8' x 3" sheet of foam should...

Thanks for the tips, I really don't want to replace any rivets, they seem to be holding ok. I sealed it up with 5200 on the inside and the problem area. It wasn't a major leak, I thought I should try to seal it up while I have in the garage.

Thanks for the tip. I thought of that and I plan on covering the floor with carpet. I do need some help with a small leak. I found this leak when I filled it with water. As you can see someone has tried to fix this before, unsuccessfully I might add. So, I cleaned this out as best can and and in...

It's heavy duty plastic, and it weighs less than a sheet of 1/2" plywood

The table tops actually sit on the ridges of the boat, I added the pvc after the fact for extra rigidity. I'm gonna double up the rubber mats. Thanks for the heads up! As far as the seating, here's a mock up for ya...

Thank you for the warm welcome, I've been doing alot of work to the boat, I thought I would explain a little more about the floor, since I'm probably the only guy who's ever used green house table tops as a floor. First, I put water in the boat to find my level and to check for leaks. Marked my...

Hello, I'm a new member and a first time boat owner. I got tired of fishing from shore and I like to bass fish the shallows, so I found this on craigslist last september, a 73 12' starcraft, boat, trailer, motor, trolling motor and fish finder for 500 bucks! I couldn't give the guy the money...
