I have the same boat and was wondering how much weight it can handle? I my self am about 380lb. The only other weight in the boat would be a 5hp motor and fuel tank which is going to be mounted up front.

@thelurewasher I think you would be fine, this old boat is rated at 800lb and remember thats "safe weight" not telling you to go out and sink your boat, just saying that 800lb is the recommended load for this boat, personally I think I could add a lot more than 800lb to mine,but would struggle in trying to do so. Thanks for posting!

Hello indy I'm working on a similar project. I have a 12ft aluminum I recently gutted out. My bare floor is similar to yours. with the small humps across the bottom I was just wondering how did you lay the carpet? Does the carpet lay over smooth? I was thinking about laying down rubber mats myself but carpet seems to be a little cheaper. Thanks for any help.

@GwillE100 I got the Grey colored carpet from Home Depot, and they even had spray adhesive there,similar to what you would glue Astro Turf to concrete with,I started to use it,but then decided not to. I liked the idea of just laying the carpet in loosely so that I could pull it out and shake it off when it was dirty :). But you could easily spray adhesive in and permenantley tack it. Thanks!

not bad was wandering what size boat that is , im working on a 12 ft V- bottom and im not sure if it can handle much weight

They can handle quite a bit of weight, I would say somewhere in the neighborhood of 600lb., this boat is a 14ft. but the extra 2 feet is mostly the bow,which is just extra and not really touching the water when it's in the water.
