bucketmouthjohnny Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 That's great Gerritt, i knew you wouldn't have just mounted it to 1/8 inch alum. but i have seen many guys do that.5/8 mg ply is plenty solid enough!! Now, where are you putting the steering wheel jk, it will be a lean mean fishin machine!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucketmouthjohnny Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Gerritt, just relooked at the pics, i have a suggestion for you. You might want to run a 1 inch pvc from the rear to the front for the trolling motor wiring, unless you are putting the battery up front. If so, than might i suggest running a 1/2 or 3/4 inch pvc pipe for future electonics because i am sure your starting battery is in the rear.you would need 2 90 degree bends tobring the pipe just past the floor. food for thought is all, John.

Yeqah there is a battery up front for the trolling motor.... it is hard to see in the picture but the cord for the trolling motor has a stove plug on it it will be simple to hook up and remove using the plug. Thanks for the suggestion though! Gerritt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanselena Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 My joists are 12" apart and I used 5/8" mg ply and there isn't a squeak in the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour of Love I hope! lol! Sweet looking ride when you were done! Easton, I should have the floor in this weekend.. I pickup up some Alum Angle and the square tubing today... man Aluminium aint cheap!! and I even got it at my contractors rate! LOL... Ahhhh well I got a very heavy gauge as I want stability and never having to worry about it again makes it worth it...besides some OFC'rs are heavier then others! LOL I will be sure to take pics once I get the floor going.. Gerritt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
