Here's a previous video we did about the deck extension in my boat and some other ideas to consider for extra bait storage: ua-cam.com/video/xIXj-z3kj7c/v-deo.html
Goes to show how anyone can upgrade their rig with a little bit of ingenuity & elbow grease. Awesome walk-through! Hopefully this will inspire others to explore possibilities with their rigs! Top notch!
Another awesome looking one. Been chopping up and rebuilding my little boat. Mine looks good but I couldn't imagine trusting myself with a boat like this!
Looks like a job well done! I used to hand wrap dashboards for 2012 and 2013 Mercedes m class and the Cadillac ats. With napa leather. Much tougher material to work with. Everything you did looked pretty good . Next time try working with curved surfaces! Lol great job!
Looks really good! The only additional pro tip I have is to glue the wood edge with epoxy or waterproof wood glue and use a deck sealer. Marine grade plywood isn't actually treated so it will still absorb water.. The ply is glued with waterproof glue...
Leon Dulak Thank you! Yeah, in any future projects I think I will do that. We layered the spray adhesive on pretty thick so hopefully that will keep some of the water away 😊
Just started thinking about trying something like this in my boat. Great video that will help my along the way. So, now that it’s been in the boat a few years, any changed you would make?
Robert Herrmann Honestly I really can't think of anything I would've done differently. Not saying it's perfect by any means, but it works pretty darn good! Good luck with you're project!
Angling Anarchy usually I don’t enjoy videos like these I want to seem some muskys in the net and if I do watch a video I just skip it, I watched the whole thing and was always entertained! I’m interested to see the next project!
@@matthewcartwright852 Well that is high praise indeed! I gotta say, I'm dying to get out and least pike fish or get some panfish to put a fishing vid together, but it's tough for me to get out right now with everything that's going on. Hopefully in the next week or two!
Angling Anarchy I’m not sure if you are a walleye fisherman, or if you are familiar with the area Ocanto, I’m from Appleton Wisconsin and I am 98% sure you guys are based out of Wisconsin. But I went walleye fishing today and we caught about 30 walleye, biggest was a 29”. Along with a surprise catch with a 38” pike. We aren’t keeping the walleyes because I don’t like keeping them during the run. But it’s a nice fun day on the water catching a bunch of fish!
@@matthewcartwright852 Those are some great fish! I dont mind walleye fishing, I just have a hard time with the crowds 😳 I actually may try to get out on the Rick River by me tomorrow and see what I can find. Took my 7 yr old out last week and we stumbled into a nice 37". May go look for some more of those!
Great video, thanks! I am in the process of "upgrading" my Pro Crappie and your tips here are helpful. Quick question, did you seal the marine grade plywood with anything? The lumber yard where I got mine suggested doing so with Epoxy (which they were selling for $100 for a can!)?
perfect, I have the Ranger deep V. That's what I'm wanting to do, so I clicked on youtube and there you was.lol My question is what kind of hinge did you use and where can I get them?? My inside measures 84". Thanks for your help and great video!!!
Bryan Gosnell Glad you enjoyed the video! We got the hinge from S and S Hinge Company. We ordered off of their website and I will include the specs for it at the end of this message. Be aware that shipping is a little steep. Here are the hinge specs: Aluminum Hinge 6 ft, 4" open width, 0.060" thickness, 1/2" knuckle, 0.120" pin diameter ($18) You may be able to choose two shorter lengths to span the 84" space that you have. If you have any other questions you can always send me a message on Facebook on the Angling Anarchy page. Hope this helps!
You're welcome very much, Brian. I think we're in it for the long haul with this virus situation. But, yeah, otherwise when it's over I'd like to meet up. I can come to WS too. Is there some way to contact you other than this comment section?
Great video! Gave me a lot of ideas for my own build. Quick question, what is the name of the type of vinyl you used on the non-carpeted pieces? It looks great!
Tanner Wichmann Thanks man! We just contacted a Crestliner dealer and got the vinyl to match what was already in the boat. Im not sure exactly what its called, but if you contact a Marina im sure they'd be able to get something for ya.
Working on this in my boat right now, do you know where I can find hinges like that, I know your other video says you had some custom made. I’m using the same 5/8 marine plywood and would like to have my hinges hidden like this.
Musky madness Sometimes you can find the hinge on Amazon, but I've also had to order them from a manufacturer. Best I can do is give you the specs for the hinge. They are as follows: Aluminum Hinge 6 ft, 4" open width, 0.060" thickness, 1/2" knuckle, 0.120" pin diameter.

Andrew Ramberg There are 2 existing drains that ended up inside the storage. Water from the cockpit can still get to it because the large piece across the front was installed about 1/4" above the floor so that the water wouldn't be trapped in the cockpit area.
Andrew Ramberg Lol. I think I probably forgot to mention that we did that in the video. I did almost the same thing in my boat and there were 2 drains that ended up in the storage but no good way for the water to get to it. So I just added 2 more drain holes to the rear of the cockpit.
Jim Spisak I used the exact same bolts that the manufacturer uses to bolt the rest of the original decking to the boat, so no more than anywhere else in the boat. After awhile, they basically "sink" into the carpeting and you can't really see them.
Andezej Jakobczak I got the hinge from S&S Hinge company in Bloomington IL. Here are the specs for it: -Aluminum Hinge 6 ft, 4" open width, 0.060" thickness, 1/2" knuckle, 0.120" pin diameter
10 Ft Cast Fishing If you take a look in the video description, I broke down the pricing of just about everything and it came to a total of right around $500.
Britton There isn't really a link I can give you. You have to go to sandshinge.com/stock-hinges/ scroll down the page and look for the 1150 (.060 thickness, .120 pin diameter, 1/2in knuckle length) and the select the material (aluminum), select open width (4in), and length (6ft). Hope that helps!
Very nice and well executed project!! Clear explanations and craftsmanship. Learned a few things which I might use if I revamp my boat. Keep up the good work!
Thanks again Brian for taking the time and effort to share this. You gave some great tips again that will help out a bunch. You are a perfectionist and it really shows in your end product, Great job! What oz carpet did you use on this build?

Bob Parteka Thank you sir! And that's what I always say, anyone can do this stuff, just have to use your noodle and figure it out!
Phenomenal, I am adding a front deck extension and this answered so many questions.
Mike Green I'm glad the video was helpful! Good luck on your project!
Another awesome looking one. Been chopping up and rebuilding my little boat. Mine looks good but I couldn't imagine trusting myself with a boat like this!
Vital Outdoors Tv Thanks dude! It was just Nate's boat, so I wasnt that worried about screwing it up 😆
Great tutorial Brian. That turned out very nice. Now you need to build that mantel for your awards for putting up with Nate.
Mitchell Genz Thank you! That may be the next video. I need to get out and film some fishing!
Looks like a job well done! I used to hand wrap dashboards for 2012 and 2013 Mercedes m class and the Cadillac ats. With napa leather. Much tougher material to work with. Everything you did looked pretty good . Next time try working with curved surfaces! Lol great job!
Eric's fishing adventures Thank you! I think I'll stick with nice straight lines and stay away from the curved surfaces though 😁
Excellent tutorial, heck of an addition to the boat! That will make for some significantly more comfortable fishing this season!
Matt Vavroch Fishing Thanks dude! Makes for a good place to take a nap on those ridiculously long days of musky fishing! 😀
@@AnglingAnarchy my front deck is big enough, hasn't happened yet but I have considered it more than once haha!
Nice job! You have inspired my to do a deck extension on my bass tracker
Clayton Derish Thank you! Good luck with your project!

Man you might have just found yourself a new side career (because fishing is always #1) that’s incredible!
Matthew Cartwright Thank you! I wish I had more time to do this kinda stuff!

Schyler Jones I ended up sealing the wood with a marine grade spar varnish. I did about 4-5 coats on all sides.
Definitely added functionality to that boat....84 MORE MUSKY BAIT SLOTS IS BUENO!😁
D Jackman I agree! The best part is all that extra storage!
Iv got a 1994 alumaweld exspress i like to make me some more front storage looks great hope mine turns out that good
Dennis Harrison Good luck with your project. Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions!
Tremendous!! I know what to do now.
Club Cool Fantastic! Good luck with your project!
Looks great I just have one question to get at the rear battery gas tank bilge pump how accessible is is it to get at them
Andzej Jakobczak All of that stuff is still accessible from portals and drawers at the back of the boat.
Best slo-mo fish fry footage to date!
Madison Angling Lol, everything is better in slo-mo!
Nice, quality job!
Scott Kietzmann Thank you!
Excellent video nice job!
PanfishLogan Thank you!
Looks great! 👍

You do nice professional work. Every bit as good as the factory, like you said. Wouldn't mind hiring you for a project I've got in mind.
The Lonesome Fisherman Thank you very much! Perhaps when all this craziness passes I can make a trip to MN 😊
You're welcome very much, Brian.
I think we're in it for the long haul with this virus situation. But, yeah, otherwise when it's over I'd like to meet up. I can come to WS too.

Good stuff. Do you do anything for water drainage inside the box?
Andrew Ramberg There are 2 existing drains that ended up inside the storage. Water from the cockpit can still get to it because the large piece across the front was installed about 1/4" above the floor so that the water wouldn't be trapped in the cockpit area.
Angling Anarchy cool. I wasnt sure if I missed it with my four year old yelling at me.

You bolted the hinge to the deck top. Do you see the bolt on the top of the deck?
Jim Spisak I used the exact same bolts that the manufacturer uses to bolt the rest of the original decking to the boat, so no more than anywhere else in the boat. After awhile, they basically "sink" into the carpeting and you can't really see them.
Where did you get the piano hinges at? Would you mind providing that's info
S&S Hinge company. The specs for the specific hinge we used is in the video description I believe 😊
Sorry I couldn’t watch your video earlier Brian
Esox Masquinongy No worries bud!
I'm having a hard time finding hinges what type of hinges did you use for the hatch doors
Andezej Jakobczak I got the hinge from S&S Hinge company in Bloomington IL. Here are the specs for it:
-Aluminum Hinge 6 ft, 4" open width, 0.060" thickness, 1/2" knuckle, 0.120" pin diameter
How much would you think was your total cost of doing that project?
10 Ft Cast Fishing If you take a look in the video description, I broke down the pricing of just about everything and it came to a total of right around $500.
What size hinge would you recommend if I use 3/4 plywood?
Jim Spisak The hinge that I have listed on the description of the video should work well for 3/4 marine grade plywood as well.
Thanks for the help😀
HI where you fin your piano hing?
Pierre Laberge We got the hinge from S&S hinge in Illinois. www.sandshinge.com. The specs for the hinge can be found in the video description.
Would you mind providing a link to the hinge? I am really struggling
Britton There isn't really a link I can give you. You have to go to sandshinge.com/stock-hinges/ scroll down the page and look for the 1150 (.060 thickness, .120 pin diameter, 1/2in knuckle length) and the select the material (aluminum), select open width (4in), and length (6ft). Hope that helps!
@@AnglingAnarchy they are charging $45 for Ohio delivery! That's steep
Britton Yeah, I remember paying around $50 for shipping, which sucks, but it was the only place I could find the hinge we needed.
Very nice and well executed project!! Clear explanations and craftsmanship. Learned a few things which I might use if I revamp my boat. Keep up the good work!
Marco Vogelzang Thank you!
Thanks again Brian for taking the time and effort to share this. You gave some great tips again that will help out a bunch. You are a perfectionist and it really shows in your end product, Great job! What oz carpet did you use on this build?
Bob I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I'm not sure what oz carpet we used, I just know it came straight from the dealer to match the existing carpet 😊
Happy to see that Nate was not trusted with any power tools. Can't wait to spill some red gator aid on that nice new carpet
m splumber Lol. You know when someone calls every power tool a "screwhammer", he's not to be trusted 😆
Dont make me hurt you two.
👍👍
JONNIE_ROCKER Thanks bud!
I can build a 20"x50" with 3 compartments
Dennis Harrison That would be a pretty decent upgrade in deckspace and storage!
