Another tip if no one has mention. For support and added noise dampening. Add 1/2 or whatever thickness Blue Styrofoam insulation board you need under the plywood in between the support rails on the boat. It will help eliminate the hollowness and drum sound created by the plywood and add support.
Love the EVA foam stuff but I can't imagine trying to spot a weight or a hook once you dropped it on that pattern....Love the channel will be using some of your ideas on my little winter project.
See I was thinking about getting the Eva foam off Amazon to but the reviews were bad. A lot of people saying it wouldn’t stick or didn’t hold up. Awesome video though!
How has it held up? I have a brand new grizzly 1860 with the baked on tread/paint. Do you think it would stick or would I have to sand all of that off?
Great video! Wouldn’t it have just been cheaper to go buy a brand new boat with foam floor already installed instead of paying for that sheet of plywood?
Did you use the Pink subfloor insulation from Home Depot. Under the board? didn’t see it on the video how / when you installed.. besides that I am restoring my own boats following all your videos.!!! Grate job.. and very well explained.. keep up..!!!
First of all, thank you for the support! I am currently working on a wiring diagram video and will hopefully be out soon! But yes, I used 1/2” pink foam from Home Depot. It was a simple measure & cut with the razor knife. Sorry I forgot!!! Thank you again.
Question: How thick is the plywood you used? Why did you not go all the way to the edge of the board with the EVA foam? Please do respond as soon as possible. Thank you
Does that eva foam repel water ? Is it easy to clean after getting fish slime on it ? Did you anchor the plywood to prevent it from blowing out of the boat when traveling down the road ? Nice job and thanks for the video.
It does repel water and it’s easy to clean. I did not anchor the plywood in. It was a snug fit with the ribs which prevented much movement. I did buy some 3/4” self tapping screws in the event I wanted to anchor them & was planning to anchor them to the ribs.
I sealed the wood with fiberglass resin then spray painted over it so it wasn’t directly in contact with a porous wood. It held up fine. There was slight shrinking of the type of Eva foam I got off Amazon at the seams where I made cuts and butted them up. Probably 1/8” gap after it was outside this winter.
By itself...yes. Stuck to my plywood boards, I’m not sure and I hope I don’t have to find out! To make it more buoyant, I added the pink styrofoam insulation under the decking you can get from any hardware store.
If you buy stuff from Bezos, he sends free template material with most orders. You don't need to buy a moving box from that orange store. Just don't throw your Amazon boxes away. "BEZOS BRINGS IT!"
I bought the generic stuff from Amazon and there was a slight bit of shrinkage after it sat outside (covered & under a deck) this winter. Maybe 1/16” but it created enough separation to make the seams visible where I butted pieces together. To cover both pieces of decking, I had to piece it together. I would recommend buying a 2nd piece (which can be pricey- $70) so there are no seams in the event it shrunk slightly.
I’m thinking about using this on an enclosed motocross trailer ? Would orange clay stain the white on this foam to the point where it woulnt wash off ?

Don't know if anybody mentioned but I will staple cardboard on wood and then trace it out. Prevents it from moving. Just a thought. Great video!
Great idea! I’m beginning to measure out my casting deck and I’ll 100% do that for the plywood this time!
I bet being bare foot just became more comfortable good idea man tight lines dude👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It’s coming along! Thank you Jorge for the support!
Don’t stop now. I subscribed to see more videos!
Working on a wiring diagram video now! This W2 job is slowing me down...hopefully with a break next week, it’ll be done!

Thank you for the support! And no doubt, it can be tricky finding a hook when it’s on the digicamo BUT always remember to bring extras!
Good job 👍

Love the series!
I appreciate the support! More to come soon!
Great job man keep it up going to be getting a 1436 soon
Thank you for the support! I just started an IG account with the same name, FlipMyJonBoat so let connect on there and we can help each other out!
Subbed, cool lil channel you got.
TintedOutDeuce Thank you for your support!
sounds like a sticky situation. heheee
What about glueing the eva directly over the hull without the plywood? Just placing EVA sections between ribs?
Remember to stay with light colors due to summertime heat and maybe a solid color for being able to see a lure you dropped especially at night.,
Your Columbia shirt looks like a ford mechanic shirt lol
Lol thank you?!? Lol
I've just fitted this camo pattent to my boat, looks good but a little much on the eyes haha makes me feel like I'm about to have an epileptic fit
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
How is it holding up after some time now . Would love some feedback before I buy it
How has it held up? I have a brand new grizzly 1860 with the baked on tread/paint. Do you think it would stick or would I have to sand all of that off?
i found using poster board from dollar store easier to use the card board boxes
Meh
I use green shag carpet
The ladies LOVE IT
10/10 man love the video
Thank you for the support!!!
Great video! Wouldn’t it have just been cheaper to go buy a brand new boat with foam floor already installed instead of paying for that sheet of plywood?
LOL right now it would have been! Luckily I bought the plywood before it decided to keep up with the price of gold!!!
Do you think it’d work if I put it over my carpet?
Will any paint work or is it specifically the truck bed liner?
Nice job
Thank you for watching and thank you for the support!

Sweet videos💯
Thank you for your support!!! Be on the lookout for an electronics video coming out soon!
How long did the eva foam last? Did it start lifting at all?
Go to Costco and ask an employee who is working in the back for a slip sheet or 2! We give them away for lots of uses.
That’s an awesome idea! Thank you for sharing!
What size ply wood 1/4 inch ?
Question: How thick is the plywood you used?
Why did you not go all the way to the edge of the board with the EVA foam? Please do respond as soon as possible. Thank you
15/32 (1/2”) I did go to the edge of the boards. I did not wrap the EVA foam around the edges.
Does that eva foam repel water ?
Is it easy to clean after getting fish slime on it ?
Did you anchor the plywood to prevent it from blowing out of the boat when traveling down the road ?
Nice job and thanks for the video.

Can I use OSB plywood?
Of course but I would still seal it so that it’s waterproof!
What's the foam do? I just bought a jon boat.
It’s waterproof & slip resistant. The way it’s made makes it resistant to mold/mildew. It’s also UV resistant. Looks pretty cool too!
How has the eva foam adhesive held up on the wood contact. Ive been told it's wont last well on a porous surface like wood.
I sealed the wood with fiberglass resin then spray painted over it so it wasn’t directly in contact with a porous wood. It held up fine. There was slight shrinking of the type of Eva foam I got off Amazon at the seams where I made cuts and butted them up. Probably 1/8” gap after it was outside this winter.
Another awesome video man! #Buckdownoutdoors
Thank you for the encouragement! Y’all keep up the good work at #Buckdownoutdoors
Do eva foam float on water?
By itself...yes. Stuck to my plywood boards, I’m not sure and I hope I don’t have to find out! To make it more buoyant, I added the pink styrofoam insulation under the decking you can get from any hardware store.

How has it held up so far?
I bought the generic stuff from Amazon and there was a slight bit of shrinkage after it sat outside (covered & under a deck) this winter. Maybe 1/16” but it created enough separation to make the seams visible where I butted pieces together. To cover both pieces of decking, I had to piece it together. I would recommend buying a 2nd piece (which can be pricey- $70) so there are no seams in the event it shrunk slightly.
I was going to install this on my girlfriend so I could not find her but you said it needs a clean dry surface to stick to, so that's not happening.
Lol
PLAYING STICKERS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁
😂😂😂 thanks for the support!
Use a dam compass
I’m not sure what you mean. Please explain. You spelled “damn” wrong...
@@flipmyjonboat4485 I mean use a compass to transfer the edge. This old disabled combat veteran was trying to help.
OMG! use a utility knife
I prefer to build with Woodglut plans.
