Hi all. I've been stalking ya'lls posts for awhile now trying to get ideas for redoing my deck/floor in my little 12' Klamath.
I already purchased $100 worth of boat carpet as I was simply going to carpet the wood that is in the boat and thought about the benches if I could figure out how. Problem is, as I went to start the project, I found the wood flooring isn't in the best of shape. Wood is starting to bend and screws are coming loose. It's also quite heavy and seems to be quite a bit higher than it needs to be.
I've been through quite a few posts on here to get ideas for a new floor and am now a bit overwhelmed.
Constraints:
I fish from the boat most weekends so not looking to make a huge project that would keep me from using the boat.
I'm fairly mechanically uninclined.
Don't have a lot of electrical tools but can pick up what's needed within reason.
What would you use to replace the deck? I looked at the foam core stuff, the aluminum honeycomb stuff which I couldn't really get a good price on, but don't quite understand all the pieces of the puzzle to make it work. Thought about aluminum diamondplate and angle, (I don't stand much in this boat, not really concerned about slipperyness), but don't quite understand the framing to make this work.
Appreciate any advice... thanks.
Phil
