I actually loved this video. I follow a few different channels as I try and prepare for my first attempt at a modification on our new Jon boat and this was so great because it flowed slowly since it was uncut raw footage. The benefit for us newbies is we really get to watch the process unfold. Each pause while you’re thinking lets us do the same as we try and see if what we’re thinking is what you’re thinking, which is really helpful in “quizzing” our new comprehension and confirming that we’re building upon our knowledge and understanding. Thanks for sharing so we can get better without having to make as many mistakes along the way!! 👊🏻
I have the utmost appreciation for how you do these videos. Something that sets you and a very few others apart from the herd is the explanations of why you are doing what you do, as well as why something did or did not work.
@@fireantfishing I wouldn't change your format or methods at all. Even if it means shorter, and thus more, videos to cover any process, the content is what is important. It's easy to push buttons on a phone or cpu and watch another video...it is not so easy to find videos with actually valuable content. Keep it up!
love this style of video, more detailed and explained. Great way to start getting some knowledge on how to deck a boat and design it the way you want. Keep it up :)
Great video man. I'm really impressed with how dialed in and tight that front deck hatch layout is. You won't have to sheet much! Looking good man, glad to see you chopping away on it!
This is amazing. I'm trying to start planning my own, which is an older model Lund WC14, with the 3 bench seats, not like the newer one with the split seats in the back, and that will probably make everything easier. But I can't seem to understand how to start with the subfloor, and if I need side rails to help mount the deck on. There's no ribs up in the front, two in the middle and they seem very shallow, so if I try to use 1.5" angled alum, it'll be taller than the rib. I guess I could use 1/16", made into an open U shape upside down over the ribs, but if it's taller then I won't be able to rivet it to the ribs. SMH
Being right handed I would have positioned the motor controller off center to the right and had room for the seat pedestal. Think about it, control in center means I have to stand off center on my left to use it, thereby off balancing the boat. PS- fyi, the white side foam was in excellent condition and is far more buoyant then the pink, test it and you'll see.
i know that this video was 3 years ago but judging from how long it takes you to drill them holes with that shitty drill bit lim guessing you are still working on this build. 1/4 of the video was drilling like 2 holes. jokes aside it looks good
SUBSCRIBE to follow along with #projectwilson and leave like if this video helped you out 👍👍 thanks guys!

Thank you Shane, I'll keep it that way then 👍👍

The build is coming along man! Gonna be a sick ride when she's done.
Thanks man!
Love the video format. Much more helpful. A lot of “aha, that’s how it’s done” moments.
Thanks Joseph! Much appreciated!

Thank you, I appreciate the insight! Helps a ton!

Thanks man! Its tight, but it will work!
Hey man I like the style of this video ( long form ). It really helps me to see the whole process. Thanks for the content.
Thanks for the feedback! Ill keep it going!
Another awesome training session. Thx #projectwilson!
Keep up the great work. Raw video is the best
Awesome Dennis thanks for the feedback bud
This video was definitely helpful on my small wonder project. Thank you!
Thank you very much for sharing these details!
Great content FireAnt. More of this would have been helpful during my build. This will be great for next time.
Thank you Pinefish!
Very nice what you are doing here, I come with a question
What thickness is aluminum plate for construction?
Enjoy your work! 🖐️
.090 for sheeting and 1/16” framing
Clecos bro! Temp fasteners for whole drilling metal wont move when you are drilling
I'm nearing the end of my 14 deep v build and I miss the process. Overcoming problems and creating something from nothing was very rewarding for me.
It is fun. It's amazing how creative you can get when your stuck in a pickle
Is this a 14 or 16 ft
Really like the videos very informative where did you happen to get your hatches from especially that 10x40 or 20x40
Thanks David, tbnation.net - dry hatches
Do you have a video explaining how to rivet the side rails in? This seems a little daunting to me and there’s not a lot covering above the water line
Bump 😂

What thickness angle did you use for the deck and the floor ?
Being right handed I would have positioned the motor controller off center to the right and had room for the seat pedestal. Think about it, control in center means I have to stand off center on my left to use it, thereby off balancing the boat.
PS- fyi, the white side foam was in excellent condition and is far more buoyant then the pink, test it and you'll see.
mmmm not sure about that, ill try it
What are you using for decking material?😊
.090 thickness aluminum sheeting
What do u think about oceansouth rocket launchers? On or for you boat?
They are cool! I dont have a use for them on this rig though
LOve all your videos. Is the pool noodles along the gunnel temporary? Why?
Yes sir, just to protect the paint while installing the interior
@@fireantfishing I figured that but had to ask just in case. Cool color though. Thanks for your service too.
Where do you get the aluminum from?
This dude is so legit
Thanks man!
I FOLLOW you till the end even into battle! Pump out the content i would like to see it through
Awesome! Good to know!
So are those aluminum hatches going to be covered in carpet? Or leave as is?
Hydroturf
@@fireantfishing Ahhh! Got it didn't think about Hydro Truf
Where did you buy the hatches?
How did you paint Wilson
Hey Wayne, I have a paint video on this project as well. Chris @senditjonboats sprayed it
