So you took all of your floatation foam?

 

[e.419]

Not all of it no.

That looks really nice. The only thing I would have done differently is gone with a lighter carpet color, but thats it. Great job!

thank you man, i wasnt sure which carpet to get so the one on sale won me out. 6' x 8' indoor outdoor precut

 

[JBooth]

Yeah I completely understand. Carpet can get pretty steep. Are you going to put a motor on it?

 

[e.419]

I've got a tripping motor that came with it when I bought it. I would like to get a 4 or 5 HP motor later. Got every thing done except the carpet on the floor. Ran out.

How did you attach the supports for the front deck? Are they bolted to the hull or just to the wood? I would like to do something like that with mine and was wondering.

Hey bro, I like how to did the latches for your hatches. I was looking at those plastic hatch locks, but those things are expensive when you consider buying four or five. I see you got some sort of elastic going on, what are you hooking it to?

The suppers are screwed into the flooring and the the beck... Wouldn't stand a lot on it as there just 1x2 but it works for what I need.... I bought two wall hooks from the improvment isle where the tools are and bought small bungees. Staples the bungees to the bottom and hook them over the inverted hooks.

Good job! I like how you did your storage.
