I have the seahawk 2,and have added a wooden floor.Without the floor the power of the engine bends the tubes in the middle.I have the floor in two pieces,one longer than the other so they overlap by about 5cm.This prevents the joint from bending.Also, two pieces fit in my car and are easier transported.Most inflatables lose pressure when the tubes are introduced into cold water,so I take a hand pump with me to top up.
I bolted a seat in the middle to join the wooden floor together and to avoid from bending and thanks for watching my friend
@@cesar8359What is the size of the floor board? Width and length. Thanks for your reply.
@@dachinjo2119 the length is 94.5 inches long, the width is 32 inches wide and the thickness of the plywood is 1/2 inch. Thanks for watching
@@cesar8359 Thank you, greetings from Serbia.
No need to talk when your actions are so crystal clear, however, it was too quick at the end there. Couldn’t tell with the orange tool was
.You are a true craftsman. I bought the sea hawk 4 Two people full gear very comfortable. Trolley motor minimum 40 pounds of thrust amus I have the Intex motor from 2011 and it’s wonderful. Happy sailing mate

Did you end up attaching the 2 halfs together or did you just leave yours separate?
Yes I attached the 2 halves together when I installed the seats, you can see it on my other video ua-cam.com/video/UsJkrnZ3UGk/v-deo.html
Has this boat held up?
To much work for such a simple job😊
Thanks for watching
Thats really dope , do u still blow the floor chamber ? Or not ? 🙄 and could i have the mesurment please 😁
Yes I still blow the floor chamber. I could send you the measurements if you'd provide me your email address
👍👍👍👍

Shold be bigger for snuggfer fit and go under the tubed (will be more stable when tubes are inflated). Also using zipties are bad idea, because they are kinda sharp on egdes and may rub the tubes material if too way outside on insulation foam. Using zipties is unnecessary is this applicatuon.

What mm is the wooden material and are you able to fish standing with the floor
It's a 12.7 mm plywood and yes I am able to stand while fishing you can see it on this video ua-cam.com/video/pllN3dq3uXA/v-deo.html
Are you able to stand on the boat?
Yes my friend I can stand on it
How thick & What type is the plywood?
It's a 1/2 inch hardwood plywood
Nice video mate, why do you think its nessasary to have the wooden floor cut out for the valve?
Thanks for watching mate, in case I need to pump out or pump in some air I can easily reach the valve with the wooden floor on
@@cesar8359 Why would you add air wouldn't that make it more unstable? I thought once you use a wooden floor you no longer need to inflate the bottom part?
@@originlgazza5925 for safety reasons, I still need to add air
@@originlgazza5925 with the wood floor and the noodles around it make it tight enough just pump the bottom so the floor isn’t putting pressure on the bottom so much it’s only a intex boat gotta be safe it didn’t come with a floor for reasons
@@curtismcpherson4823 Ahh fair enough... Got rid 9f my boat, motors, battery, an everything else now but nice to know cheers
Why not use a sewing pattern wheel to trace out the pattern?
I don't know that. Thanks for watching
Nice Video, can i have measurement?
Thanks for watching my friend, the measurement is 94 1/2 inches by 32 inches by 1/2 inch thickness
@@cesar8359 Is 3/4 inch thickness ok?
Do you make & sell?
No catina, I don't sell.
Easier way to trace is use a dress makers pattern tracer wheel
Thanks for watching. Good idea, use a dress maker's pattern tracer wheel.
It's good to see Woodglut have new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
Thanks for watching
Sir can i have measurement??
Sure Capt. Z, what is your email address?
Zfiq31@yahoo.com... Thanks in advance sir..
@@cesar8359 Hello, can tou send me the measurement? just to buy the correct plywood piece. thanks
@@mmarco80 sure, what's your email address?
@@cesar8359 You could have literally just typed the measurements lol why mess about with emails?
Good work but i hate no word videos. Lol
Just pretend you're wearing earplugs. Lol
@@cesar8359 LoL!
Hello.i want to say this,be cerfull when you go out to the water.Everybody must know,this thing is dangerous.I build a wooden floor myself for seahwak 4.I went with afreind to alake and while we were far away from shore,at adeep of 20 meters,we fell to the water...this boat with awooden floor is dengerous.please think twice.Nobody talks about that.Sorry for saying this,i was very enthusiastic myself when i built it.
Thank you for letting me know, yes I was enthusiastic about it too but after a couple of tests on the lakes I could feel it's not safe. That's I stopped using it and just do fishing on the shore and I'm thinking of buying a cheap fishing boat. Anyway thanks for your concern and take care my friend
How did you fall out? We're you sitting high? Was it from strong waves?
@@TheOsmodius I am also curious about how tf you fall out of the boat with a wooden floor lol like were you drunk and dancing around the edge or what? It seems a ridiculous thing to happen like how can you be sat down fishing and just fall from the boat and on top of that blame the wooden floor?
I bought a seahawk 3 and the bottom is separating from the sides. It's only 4 months old and Intex will not replace it. ***Do not Buy***
started off good, but you ruined it in the middle by fastforwarding way too fast. I can't see what you're doing. Why did you break out the cardboard again and do all those measurements etc. when you already had the stencil on the plywood??? it gets really confusing around there. Sad because It was almost helpful. There are so many poeple doing this modification, but NOBODY really does a good job of showing you how to do it. This wasn't really helpful at all. Just you showing off I guess.
Well yes there was a stencil but as I was cutting the plywood, I realized maybe it would be much easier and would be the same cut if I would trace the half cut of the plywood and draw it to the other half of the plywood and cut it. I hope you understand what I mean.
