How to make a hardwood floor for an inflatable boat/sib

[@Barbedhookfishing]

Brilliantly done!! 👏 Good to see you on the tools 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@richard9081]

Good work-thinking you have got bug for toothy critters after the spurs-maybe a tope next😊

[@ryanferris7841]

Thanks Tbh after hauling them spurs up from 300 feet, i think I will stick to pollock 😂

Great video mate

Thanks Rab

[@tomjones7593]

Thanks- I guess you have to deflate the boat to fit the new deck in -or out ?

[@ryanferris7841]

Yes fully deflate it’s very easy to install just sets in no problem

[@tomjones7593]

@@ryanferris7841 Thanks a lot- I'm off to get plywood tomorrow- I think resin paint to weatherproof a bit too- I like my 3.8 but the wobbly floor really is a pain in anything but a flat sea

[@mrwildticker7421]

Great vid buddy are you going to treat the wood if so with what?

[@ryanferris7841]

Thanks mate!! Yes I will treat I’m thinking teak oil as it really soaks in then maybe add a non slip mat 😊

Hi From Newcastle co Down..been subd to your channel for a while now..great vids.really enjoying them.We.re thinking about a honwave possibly next summer..one thing concerns me though..is it possible to bring (mount) an auxiliary outboard..petrol or electric for emergency..think id go fir a new Honda 8 / 10 hp..so hopefully would be reliable. Also really want the right size Honwave. That i can put in back of the van..and inflate on site. Anyways keep the vids coming 👍 Ian.

[@ryanferris7841]

Hi Ian, you could definitely bring a tiny 3hp aux outboard however you might have trouble mounting it on the transom because of a space issue, but if you are buying a fairly fresh Honda air even a new 1 i seriously doubt you will need an Aux new four strokes are seriously reliable

[@andymoffat8393]

Can you give me the measurements for this ?

[@ryanferris7841]

Here you go- 202 cm long 96 cm wide at the stern tapering down to 86 cm at the bow end! Make sure you notch out for the drain plug and cut to clear where the tubes join the transom! All above is a guide only as other t38s may vary slightly 👍

[@andymoffat8393]

Thank you so much. Enjoying your channel. I have the t38 with yam 9.9. Would like to put a floor in and maybe even a steering console eventually. Can the yam be converted to work with a steering wheel

[@ryanferris7841]

@@andymoffat8393 thanks for your support 🙏 I do believe the 9.9 can definitely be used with a console! Good luck with your build
