This is a cool little video .And I love the ending message " don't let it intimidate you doesn't fit first time run with it " projects even of this magnitude sometimes discourage me from doing just because I'm a newly " handy man " 😂
Love the saw horses. My first job as an apprentice carpenter back in the 70s (local 1622) was building 26 saw horses lol. Great job on the template tips. I put one strong back under and across the center of my 3/4" deck because it felt a little spongy with two of us on it.
I want to see how you did the smaller deck for the trolling motor..thats exactly what I want for my 72 Polar Kraft 1436. Don't need the deck. I have a Minn Kota 45 Edge Tiller I want up there.
Good video. I can hardly wait to watch hoe you install the carpet etc. Are you planning to put ant foam sheets under it for added flotation like many has done? How did you find the right place to put the front at to make sure the deck was level after you put the boat in the water? or did you already figure that out and if so how?
Nice video! Hope you won't mind if I ask a question. I just bought an Alumacraft 1436LT, and I don't think it's stable enough for me to routinely stand and walk around on a raised deck while fishing. However, I'd like to raise the front factory metal shelf so it's flush with the top of the gunwales. Do you have a video or maybe photos of how you made and attached the raised shelf at the front of your boat? That would be a big help in getting my boat ready for the spring fishing season. Thanks!
Didn't you mean you want to cut on the inside of the line to allow for the carpet. I'm about to copy what your doing for the floor I'm making for my boat and I need to understand you correctly.

@@TuggSpeedman_this is flaming dragon!!
Perfect timing!! About to deck my 1436 Lowe Jon Boat!
Nice. Good luck!
Great video. I been thinking about adding a deck to my 14' boat for a while now and this really helped out

Great video but what about supports under the middle of the deck so it doesn’t try to cave in with you

Thanks for the video. What kind of wood did you use and how thick? I've got a 12-ft Jon boat I want to do the same thing to the front.

Good stuff
Who makes a prefab kit?

I think he was talking about the notches he cut for the bulkhead...not the platform itself
@chriswhalen71 ok just got my wood today. Yeah that makes sense thank you
Sweet video thank u will use ur tips
Just in case someone at the hardware store says get plyform plywood for building a deck like me, do not.
It separated after one rain.
where is braces to keep from busting deck.?
Hi Coy, we didn't need stringer support given the narrow width of the boat and rigidity of the 3/4-inch plywood.
There is an entire TH-cam channel and Facebook group dedicated to just modifying Jon and small v-hull boats called Tiny Boat Nation - Michael Lopez
Cool, thanks for the heads up Patrick.
I'm sure you will find good solutions for all your ideas on the Stodoys plans website.
