gonna do this to my boat over the winter ... curious if you have and tips ... what kinda wood did you use ..MDF...? should i support my boat for when i cut it will it wanna collapse on its self ... sorry all the questions just your video really inspired me to do this to my 16ft deep haul ... hate all that wasted space up there ... thanks

[@activ1712]

Hello. I used harder insulation boards for the model. For frame angular aluminum. Everything else is made of fiberglass fibers in several layers. With this I got the shape and high strength. Greetings and successful work

@@activ1712 great thanks so much ...

[@MasterArmedforces]

did you do it?

[@edkennard72]

you did a great job how did you fasten the bottom to the floor

[@gzusrlz10]

I really want to do this to my boat.

[@thebigboss024]

activ1712 Wow, this is what I need. Few questions if you don’t mind; If I use marine plywood, is fibreglass still a must? Or can I just use epoxy/rubber paint for waterproofing? Looking forward for your thoughts, thanks!

[@activ1712]

Marine plywood are too heavy. I did not use fiberglass. I used a fabric which is very strong(use in aviation). I used two-component polyurethane paint(Jotun Hardtop AX).

Hi, I'm thinking of doing the same to mine 21" sea ray with a closed bow. Did You experience any difference in the sailing abilities moving gravity and such? It looks great what You did to your boat.

[@activ1712]

Hello, the driving qualities are now better because the speedboat is now more stubborn due to the lower center of gravity, and the four stroke engines are heavier than the two-stroke, which will contribute to even greater stability. A four-spoke propeller is also very good for faster speeding.

@@activ1712 the more blades,the greater drag, and the lesser top speed

For sale ?

[@activ1712]

Not for sale.

Hey...is this conversion globally legal?

[@activ1712]

9 years ago I had no problems during the inspection. Today, however, things would probably be different and I would need some kind of expert technical review and a bunch of paperwork problems???
