Location: north west wisconsin | i did it in a 14' removed the bench seats and everything, some will say you if you take the floation foam out your going to be in trouble. I suppose if it capsize's but I am very aware of what kind of water I take it into.. watch for danger,
What I did was I left the bench seat brakets on the hull and fastend 2x12 onto them, then I built around the bow so it would hold the false floor. I also built a battery compartment unerneath so I had some support to the bottom of the boat.
the rest of the boat has a sheet of treated plywood with indoor outdoor carpeting on it set right on the ribs of the hull nothing fancy there and i built a casting deck in the rear out of 2x12 set side by side so its actually 23 inchs wide. I would'nt go to high with your casting decks because it can make the boat very tippy, I learnd that the hard way, I can post some pics of what I did.
My boat floats in about 1 fow with just me and my gear in it, im 210.
good luck |
