Having a vision and then moving to accomplish that vision is one of the greatest feelings that you can have. I’m impressed and want to encourage you in your project.

I'm pretty new here as well, but I've found the members here to be absolutely great and very helpful. Oh and I have a friend who is over 500lbs and he fished on my boat several times and the dbl planked floor held just fine solid as a rock to work on.įirst of all, welcome to the site. I really liked my old Starcraft but had a chance to get a bigger boat and wife wanted indoor plumbing so I traded it to my my brother. Weight below the water line won't hurt you much and will add to overall stability. Pour foam is most likely the best way to deal with foaming it in I never finished mine as my wife made me buy a bigger boat she was not comfortable in the 18 with no bathroom. I did my 18 Srtarcraft with 1/2 marine grade plywood which I then sealed each peice before installing it and I overlapped it with a second layer of 1/2 plywood with all the seams reversed so it was solid as a rock I also built in a rod locker in the floor while I was laying it out so consider what you want it to look like and build what you want. Remove any pop rivets and replace with buck rivets if possible. Blasting the hull may be overkill but walnut shells and light media won't hurt the hull.
