Hey, excellent video. Gonna try to build one like that, but I was looking at the hose clamps when I went to home depot and I was a little concerned about how sharp the edges/ends were. Would they not puncture the boat from the vibrations after a while?

@HelllStorm They are sharp, just wrap them with some electrical tape.

sorry for bugging you man but i got same boat and i love yours what the price on the stuff you got on top of your floor and whats it called also i suck at carpeting so how did you cut floor to size and what cordintes your replys are always appreiciated thank you

@classrock97 Sorry so late! I used outdoor carpeting from Home Depot and it was really cheap. I suck at carpeting too, but I learned to staple it on the back side with an industrial staple gun. make sure to account for each staple so you don't have a sharp edge pointing out. Also, glue and tape won't hold the carpet on when it gets water logged so I highly recommend staples. Anyway, hope that helped?

Great family, super dog! looks like you have tons of fun. You're a lucky man!

@anhtuanb Well It's not really a tube, rather a chamber. These boats have 5 different air chambers and I punctured the biggest one on the exterior. I realized it right away and got it to shore asap. It wasn't too bad but given an hour or so and not noticing, could have been tragic.

@Cpennington57

So what happened when the tube popped? Does the boat still float enough for you to reach shore?

AWESOME mods! I managed to find the floorboard for my HF360, looking to make a mount similar to this for my Minn Kota 45.

Any chance you could email me some close ups of the rods mounted into the oar locks and onto the 2x2 beam? Having trouble seeing it in the video. :(

@rpottorff Well I hope they help! On the shelf, I put my fishing gear bag. Well, trick her out and have fun! Your welcome, let me know if you have any questions!

@jlhnrjd Hey, bought mine on Craigslist too! I'm out here in FWB, just down the road. I plan on keeping these vids up since they seem to get the wheels turning for people wanting to customize their new ride. I'd a strong advocate on DIY and love hearing about others building their own rigs. Thanks, take care!
