Looking great. I’m sure it’ll be sweet looking when finished and everything is covered with a hatch. For a floor I think a sheet of aluminum would work well to keep weight down.
Lots of great ideas. But two way tape is mostly junk when you add heat from the sun and water from condensation. 3m makes some good adhesive but it is almost impossible to remove if you want it gone. Always enjoy your build videos. You're a "gitter done" kind of guy!
Looking good! Say .. what's the plan for flotation if you capsize it? Those benches on the alumacraft were originally sealed and acted as bouyancy. Maybe you mentioned this in a previous video and i missed it. You could probably put some pink XPS foam under the decking if you add a floor, or in sheets on the sides under the gunwales.
Awesome job for sure. The only thing I would change out is that toggle switch that is sticking out for your GPS tach. I would be afraid of the toggle getting snapped off because it is sticking out so much and someone may step on it by accident getting in or out of the boat or maybe just moving around. I would see if you could get a switch that is a low mount/flush mounted, push able one. One that just clicks inside a button like application. Other then that, please make sure you are wearing your life jacket when you are out in the boat. See you on your next update video or your next hunting video. Whichever one comes first.
I think the float switch should just get wired so it has constant power that way it turns on when the internal switch is activated. Why put a switch on a switch?
I came here to say the same thing. I have a larger leisure boat and the bilge pump offers the same functions. On with a switch and on when the float gets to a certain level. However, the float power wire is run DIRECTLY to the battery so that even if I have my main battery shut off switch in the off position, the bilge float function will still work so long as the battery's are charged.
Really like the build man ive been wanting to build mine for 4 or 5 years now
That is the most incredible boat build I’ve ever seen! I never imagined that it would run that fast!!!!
I can’t believe how fast it is. You did a really nice job. Not only practical but it looks nice too.
It’s a great feeling when it’s all done and works!
Great Job from land of Oz

Nice. I have a 14' Lund S14 waiting for this treatment. Need the right ski to come along. I really hope to find one of the smaller 60 hp critters.
Biats mainly run on a grounded system. They interupt the ground not the power on the switch to cut power.
Looking good, you've made an awesome hunting boat to get into small creeks for sure 👍👍

Great video brother, thanks for sharing
Outstanding !!

Impressive build!

Looks good! Fun…
Looks good
If you put a lightweight deck over the engine it could be used for a fishing deck as well
That is a cool boat 🎉
How did you secure the seats and swivel to the bench with that little bit of space lol
Good stuff
Was a fun build to watch. She's a bad unit now! Pretty work, Catman.......
I don't want a boat or jetski... Now I NEED both..!!
honestly, didn't think it would work. Turns out to be an incredible accomplishment. Amazing boat. Some angled footrests behind/below the next seat up?
