PLEASE READ I HAVE A TIP FOR YOU. My grandpa has a 42ft houseboat and he gutted the boat like you are planing to do. So when you rebuild your floor don't make it all one piece make it so it has panels so if you need to work on any of the electrical or water lines you can pull up the floor panels instead of have to take out the floor to work on things under the floor.

Just stumbled upon your channel because of this boat. I’m excited to follow to project. I have a suggestion, if you can afford it, build the floor frame out of 1” aluminum or steal box tubing so you can gain a few extra inches of head clearance. It’ll also avoid any future rot from water damage. This is merely a suggestion, I don’t know anything about building or even working on a boat. Best of luck!

Use the internet to look at other houseboats for idea’s. Spend some time and go to a few Marina’s ask ask other houseboat own pro’s and con’s to their designs.

My boat was only 18 ft and I had a "soft floor"......stringers, transom, decking- everything had to be replaced. Your project was giving me PTSD just looking at it. Yards of 1708 and gallons of resin....you'll get there. I like the design of the boat. Huge amount of work ahead but it will be one of a kind and you'll know it is well done and safe.

You have a good start. I've rebuilt three rv's that I've lived in. The current one is a 34' fifth wheel. Needed a whole new roof including trusses, ceiling and roof. Wall sheeting all replaced. One thing I learned is to make a plan on paper so you get all the wiring and plumbing installed in the correct places before enclosing Walls, ceiling and floor. One other thing to consider is to cover the floor joists with a good thick layer of fiberglass because those floor joists play a critical part in the strength of the hull. Once you get it all cleaned out and debugged that's the first thing I would repair. You'll start with a good foundation. I'll keep watching your progress to see how its going.

It’s also the best time to find the water issue(s) now because there is less stuff in the way that normally hides the leaks. The leaks are easier to see and find now that it’s gutted to the shell. If it were me, I’d remove and then re-set the windows and such too. They’re bound to be leaking. The sealant around them is surely old, dry and brittle from sitting in the sun all those years. It’s a simple project, just takes time and effort and it will likely solve some issues and definitely prevent future problems. Sounds funny to say this about a boat, but water is definitely the enemy on RV’s and boats. Speaking from experience here.

My health has kept me from doing anything beyond that. But it’s a nice little boat as is. Watching this really makes me wanna get started on my restoration, but that’s another story. The boat is definitely worth the work and expense. I think so far you’re doing it right. Just gut it all and start with all new materials. Spend the money because when completed it will still be worth more than any new boat you’ll ever find.

Only thing I could afford, but it was what I was looking for, was an old 97 Tacoma. It needs some love but with my schedule at work(overnights) and living in a small apartment, time to give said love is limited, along with the financial hit.

My man I usually don't comment on videos, but you have an awesome personality and nicely edited videos. My first boat I bought for $200. Turned it into an awesome weekender with the wife. I highly suggest looking at the transom. Wiggle the hell out of the outdrive, see if the fiberglass flexes. Davy Gravy, you're awesome for helping your friend! Subscribed for this boat build, and can't wait to see what becomes of it!

Advice? I think you're doing great. Only thing I can think of that I'd recommend is wearing a respirator or at least a dust mask. Admire your commitment to the work involved in bringing that unit back. It's the promise of how nice it will turn out that must be what keeps you and us viewers going.

That boat is the coolest thing! You have got at least 10-15 episodes just on restoring and modifying that boat. And then you should do a series where you tour around with it. Just make sure you fix the toilet. No pontoons to swim between on this one. 😁 Seriously. That is a great boat! Worth all the love you're about to put into it. I really can't wait to see you cruising around in it! Itty Bitty Yall!

Under floor supports make from 3/4 (19mm) exterior ply, along the top edge run a piece of 2x1 PAR glued and screwed both sides and then bond the ply bottom part to the hull. Use S/S screws.

The Steury was not discontinued. It was so good that their major competitor, ChrisCraft I think, bought the business just to shut it down. I am surprised there is no foam under the floor. I just finished a 2 year rebuild of a 1978 SeaCamper and the foam under the floor adds both strength and flotation. Good luck, it is a real neat boat, great potential there.

That is a damn fine idea… say you put a ton of foam under the floorboards…. Filled the bastard right up… would that mess up the natural ballast? Did they not put foam there for a reason? I have no idea…. You sound like you know your shit so im asking..

The good thing about tearing everything out of the boat is that you get to build it back just how you want it but you need to keep weight distribution in mind. If I was building it I’d put sea deck throughout the whole thing. You could also use a lot of the flat area on top for solar panels to charge your batteries

For the floor joist consider 1 inch foam sandwiched in fiberglass. It will be termite proof, lighter, and maybe add some buoyancy.
