I know this video is from last year, but I have been watching your channel now for a few days. (I'm new to the aluminum boat world) and I am just so impressed with your ability to make your vision come to life using the tools you have and the materials you have without going broke to make it happen. Great work keep it up. I'll keep watching.
This looks GREAT Dave! This is next-level work! I can see you've finally gotten some of your dream features in this one, and this looks like a great platform to keep on growing. Between the boat project as a whole and this video series, you've really put in quite the work, I'm impressed!
i haven't finished the video yet, but i can see the effort and time you put into making this video. i have been editing for over 10 years and can see the edits you do. lots of HOURS! good job !
Amazing to see this. Your the one who actually inspired me to get a 12 foot Jon boat with a yami 6hp. I couldn’t find a solid 9.9 at the time. Now I’m in the world of getting a 14 foot with deck, trolling motor, and a 15. Going to use your videos to see how you did the decks. Keep up the good work
Looks great! Been watching alot of your stuff lately...curious have you looked at a foam vs carpet (seakdek or hydro turf etc) about to redo a 14ft valco
Yep, I have looked into it and done some research on hydro turf. It's becoming rapidly popular, but I personally just like the look and feel of carpet in a boat. I know there's some unique qualities specific to hydro turf, but I'm not a huge fan of the feel of EVA foam and in my experiences, carpet seems to have more traction in the rain and stays cooler in the sun. Maybe it was just a bad experience, I thought about adding some to the inside cockpit floor just to try out and see how it holds up. It seems to be a tossup between guys and more of a personal preference type of thing. Hope this helps!
@Mission For Fishing 😄 well im trying to figure out carpet vs foam and no experience with either 😅 ill research both more! Thank you for your replies. Great content man. Keep it up!
i have the exact same 12 foot lund boat and i have a few questions what did you waterproof the plywood with and what kind of glue did you use for the carpet
@@mikeprater6898 Sorry! Had to watch through the videos again to double check. I used 5/8" 5 ply for the top decks because of the large hatches they needed to cover with no support on the front deck. I managed to get away with 1/2" marine plywood for the subfloor because of the short distance between the hull's stringers.

Thanks man, much appreciated! This one took about three days, DaVinci counted a little over 700 clips when exported.
Well done buddy! Can't wait to see it out on the water, catching those big ones!
You and me both!

5/8" 5 ply
@@MissionForFishing thanks keep it up

@@maxmerckx We used two coats of exterior latex-based paint to seal the plywood with some TEC brand indoor/outdoor carpet adhesive from Menard's.
@@MissionForFishing thank you so much
I might’ve asked this before but what thickness plywood are you using
1/2” if I remember right
@@MissionForFishing for some reason I thought you said 3/4 and I thought that was too heavy. 1/2 sounds right to m

@@MissionForFishing thanks brother. I’ve aLways used 1/2 “
Feeling a little weird. Smacks himself in the face lol
