    14 foot starcraft project for this year

    Nut and bolt at the top and just screwed into the decking ....stiffens it up a bit and was only about 15 bucks in material.

    14 foot starcraft project for this year

    Added some sweet supports .....didnt really seem like it needed it but figured its not going to hurt and it gives me a spot to mount rod holders and such.

    14 foot starcraft project for this year

    I had it out last year before the front deck was done and with someone in the front it was perfect .....without it wanted to porpoise a bit. The deck is alot lighter than my 250 lb buddy but im hoping its heavy enough that it should ride nice enough now with or without someone up front.

Two of us walked around no problem and my buddy is a bigger guy ....Flys with the 15 and no flex in the hull even without the supports in yet.

    Bad pic but I started to frame the back seating deck and the little bump out for the stereo and fish finder and maybe switches.

    14 foot starcraft project for this year

    Ya it didn't change at all ...before the floor went in in was a bit worried about the flexing but I attached each cross member to the ribbing 2 or 3 Times and it's stiffer now than before the seat came out ....i still plan to brace the sides to the floor also using the bracing as rod holders.

    14 foot starcraft project for this year

    Well I couldn't find a rubberized material that wasn't black and stumbled across enough carpet to do the entire boat and decks for 50 bucks ...got the floor done.
