We simply used the fungus floors as a template for the two replacement floors, so it ended up being pretty straight forward. After all the cutting and routing we had to seal the floors some more - this time i used an exterior undercoat.
New floors being installed - I used the same securing method as the original - A stainless screw with a cup washer. Here I was making sure all the front casting deck fitted together before capeting the hatch.
I also plan on re vinyling the seats as the vinyl on the original seats is cracked and weathered. Anyone know a place that can do this? I have removed the vinyl and staples, so its just a matter of stapling some replacement vinyl on the cushions.
Thats pretty much where things are at as at 3rd October 06'. I plan on having the boat ready for its first outing this weekend, so hopefully I can post pics of the electrical fitout by the weeked.
A man, his boat in need of some TLC, a HUGE shed, radio in the background, friends dropping by and lending a hand, power tools all over the place.....the result of your efforts taking shape in front of your eyes.....
what more can a man want?
Looks like a job well done mate, enjoy the results.
That's starting to look great. Better than expected. Didn't take much to improve the looks of the old girl either. Good work mate and I can see many hours of fishing in that beauty!
Keep the posts coming as I want to see the progress and final result.
Good job mate....will feel satisfying knowing you've done all that work yaself Im sure. Good luck getting out on the weekend.
Just out of curiosity how old is the boat?
It doesn't look all that old and you'd expect the floors to last longer
I'm an microelectronic engineer. So sparky was not too far off. I think i'll try and do the seats myself as I already have the vinyl, i just need to get hold of a suitable staple gun (my current gun uses thicker staples).
The electrical fitout is coming together well its going to use a 6 way switchboard and run 2 12V sockets (one front and one back), Nav lights, Anchor Lights, Bilge pump, Gunnel lights, Sounder and GPS - all fused and soldered connections .
jono,
The boat is a 2002 - but it was kept outside - it didn't get the TLC it probaby deserved - I estimate that 3kg of sand came out of the the carpets alone when i pulled them up.
Its a good thing it's a aluminium boat and not a fiberglass one thats for sure
