Sorry, it's been a busy summer and I have not had a lot of time to work on the boat. Fla_yankee - I used 1-1/8"x1-1/8" angle 1/8" inch thick. I don't know if you can tell from the pic's but, I also used some square tube 1"x1" tube 1/8" thickness. Here are some pic's of the main sub-floor...

Thanks for the compliments guys. Thanks Water Bouy, that made me laugh! :lol:

As you can see in the following picture's, I have most of the framing done. I ran two pieces of channel aluminum up the main floor. I will use the channel aluminum to drop supports to, for my cross members under the main floor (which are not done yet). The main floor will rest on the angle...

Well, it's been quite a while since I have posted. This is my first boat project and I think it will be my last. I have spent soooo many hours working on this boat and soooo much money, I'm not sure it's going to be worth the trouble. I guess time will tell. I stripped the paint with...

I like your last paragraph, say everything about why I want to modify my boat. Very nice job on the boat. It always means more when you put a little sweat into a project. Good work.

A small bit of progress on framing. I ordered steel flex for the bottom with beige pigment for color and plan on spray painting the top-half, inside and outside, in a dark blue. I have a lot of prep work to do for the steel flex and primer/painting. I'm thinking all the old paint needs to...

I do not have my plan fully developed, but I have a really good idea of how I want it to turn out. I would like a casting deck up front and the flat floor in the middle. I will run cabinets along both sides having one side be a rod locker and the other side storage space. I want to do a...

I started my boat project a few days ago. It's a 1973 16ft Sea Nymph with a 30hp mid-eighties Mariner motor (made by Yamaha). I have owned and used this boat for the last five years. The first year I owned it I built a small cabinet in the back. The cabinet housed a marine battery and I...
