delcecchi Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Plywood is really stiff and strong for its weight. Also doesn't cost too much. Lasts 20 years or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLD24 Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Well hopefully the boat will be all done by the weekend...The vinyl should be here Wednesday, that's the only thing I'm waiting on...I'm going to cut the one big piece of the floor so I can fit it in without taking the console out and just so its easier. My plan is to cut it bow to stern, does anyone recommend cutting it a different way...I think this way will look the best. The dotted line is where I plan on cutting, the port to starboard side dotted line was my other way I thought of cutting it, the seem would be hidden under the storage boxes that way. Figured I'd post a picture on here to see if anyone that's done it before has any better way they did it...Thanks for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLD24 Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Also anyone have the best way to fold the vinyl on the corners...This is way the way I plan on doing it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delcecchi Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Don't the consoles sit on the floor? My console (different model) sure looks like it does. You are cutting so there is something under the joint, right? Or making something to support the edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLD24 Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 No on mine the consoles are in front of the main floor just a touch...Yes the stringers would be under it...My pics from previous posts show how the stringers are laid out...

DLD24 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Well laid the new floor in and it fits perfectly...Depending on how thick this vinyl is I might have to sand some to get the pieces in with the vinyl so much for the gaps ha... The power decided to go out on my before I could get the rest of my work I wanted to get done today, darn wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLD24 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Well got the boat pretty much done, just have to put the livewell overflow back on and the battery compartment...I'm happy with the vinyl (nautolex shark grey). I have some vinyl left over, in the summer I might try and make a rod locker between the consoles...

DLD24 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 I feel like that project was kind of like when you do brakes for the 1st time and 1st side takes 2 hours to do and 2nd side takes 15 mins....If I had to do it again, I feel like it wouldn't take very long...That dang livewell overflow is the only thing that is pain in the butt...

DLD24 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Does anyone know if there's a reason why they have the thru hull livewell overflow rather than the just the hollow tube for the plug...My 91 rebel just has the the hollow tube and I never had any problems with it overflowing...Im thinking I'm just going to plug the thru hull, then I don't have to mess with it again if I have to take that part of the floor up again. It just seems unnecessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLD24 Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 If anyone is looking for something to plug their livewell overflow, test plugs seem like they will work like a charm... gunner55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems unnecessary Just different ways of doing the same thing. If you using the live well you do need a way of letting water out of the boat. gunner55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner55 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 My guess would be that when it's a little windy & the boat is bouncing / rocking a little more the 1 on the side probably helps keep it from splashing over the top. Keeping the inside of the boat a little drier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
