Intex Excursion 4 : Part One (Floor)

[@MannyGunzz]

Wife just got me this n needed ideas, thanks man been following all your videos on this boat... Great job

[@bretsheffer8263]

keep in mind, after several uses, your boat will expand a bit. The first board i made for mine turned out to be a bit small after a while. Maybe add an extra 1/4 inch all the way around, giving a total of 1/2 inch, L x W.

[@dannoreinhardt]

And this is also true of being in hot sun, the warmth makes the boat more pliable and stretchy.

[@alguerra9192]

I´ve ever seen many videos about it, but probably this is the best. Great job man. Thanks, for share.

[@jaymefacanha9824]

Congratulations!! Very good! I loved!

[@e30325ikiller]

u better put a piece of wood under the clamps so it glues on the whole carpet piece not only on a much smaller space of the clamps ends

[@cerealaugher]

instead of cutting the carpet piece by piece and lapping it over, just make one cut all the way around the board, as close as possible, the moulding will cover any imperfections.

[@midasarlington4046]

great vids! got some guts to cut over hardwood floors lol

[@carlosschmitz4506]

amazing - thank you for sharing with us

[@klugeist]

Hi there, i bought it today and would like to prepared the floor also like this, at least i try it 😬thank you very much for this Video.

[@evan2290]

Sweet video man, I really appreciate it. A couple quick questions if you don't mind before I get started on my project. 1. I was planning on measuring with a drop cloth with the boat upside down like you did to get a template for the ply wood. If you could do it again would you measure the closer seam (since it was an "extremely" tight fit as you said? 2. I'm going to need to cut my board into 3 sections for storage and transportability. Do you think hinges would work to connect them? Or would something like struts or an H section in between each section horizontally be better for stability? will i have to cut a little extra out of each section for the hinge to work? Or do you think hinges are unnecessary? I was thinking it would provide more stability when stepping around the seam. 3. Since I'm going to have 3 sections, I was thinking glueing the protector foam on with some kind of adhesive (any recommendation?) might be better than the zip ties. Thank you in advance for your wisdom. I really appreciate it!

[@Joblinatorius]

Hello, could you share the dimensions of the floor you cut out?

[@AsdSilva]

No video on the water? I think I gona do the same to mine.

[@beverlydwyer5162]

I think I would paint the wood with waterproof paint before gluing carpet

[@dannoreinhardt]

This wood is exterior grade so resistent to damage from the water. You could paint it, but I think it would be unnecessary.

[@sibersoldier]

Thank you for this good information

[@dialectstat3377]

why do you need the tube on edge?

[@mok8111]

Hello very nice video .. it would be really helpful if you can sketch a floor plan .. as one of you tubers done for excursion 5 Thanks 😊

[@sebastianmuswere2700]

Seconded...🙋‍♂️

[@Zlavik]

Thirded

[@kevinair7648]

Good video but did staples work .I b worried about them coming out .I've just bought the boat. But not done floor yet .council kev from 🇬🇧 uk

[@dannoreinhardt]

I used NO staples because I had the same concern. Glue was used to attach the carpet here and the zip ties that I used (to fasten the insulation edge) also help keep that carpet on the board.

[@aquadoc4080]

Nice job!

[@jcallesano]

Why was it "extremely hard to fit in" I don't understand why. Could this be 2 peoc3s instead of sheet?

[@anthonyrafael8268]

I would like to know the name of the wood that you use, and a very good video, greetings from Spain

[@dannoreinhardt]

It’s an exterior grade plywood. I don’t know how they label that at the stores in Spain , but here they are usually labeled with an X to tell that and then a letter for quality on each side. So for example a BCX would be B quality on one side, lesser C quality on the other side, and X (for Exterior-grade). I think that I used BCX

[@dacianfd8418]

How many millimeters does the plate have?

[@HansRiveraCreations]

can you use pool nodles instead of insulators for the edges of the wood?

[@dannoreinhardt]

You might be able to do that, but these are much thinner and probably better suited size-wise

[@juancarloslopez9915]

what is that spray bottle you used to glue the carpet?

[@cerealaugher]

it's just a spray adhesive. do not spray the whole board and then lay out the carpet, the glue dries very fast. roll the carpet up and roll out as you spray

[@SolvntOfficial]

What adhesive did you use to glue the carpet? And what were the zip-ties for? Couldn’t see exactly how you attached em, great video though

[@dannoreinhardt]

Dawid Drab sorry to take so long to reply! The adhesive is a spray by 3M called Super 77. At one point I think I ran out and could only get Super 90. The zip ties are the best way I know (short of threading a string though) to keep those insulators on the edge of the floor. Otherwise that pops off all of the time as you try to put it into the boat and in general while you move the floor around your garage

[@swordssolitude3861]

Did you drill holes for the zip ties? A bit confused how they're attached @@dannoreinhardt

[@bonusalipasa]

Very good job

[@oleksandrdanyleiko5341]

Hi, great inspiring video! Gonna do the same. Appriciate if you can answer couple of questions. What is the thickness of the plywood and the total weight of the floor? Thank you!

[@dannoreinhardt]

I used 1/2” CDX plywood. I haven’t weighed it, but I think that would come in around 60lbs or so for a full sheet, so probably around 50lbs. Wait for the follow up video. I built seats!

[@dialectstat3377]

which glue do you use?

[@김성미-e8z]

Can you tell me the floor size?

[@Jenda1M1]

hello please what kind of cloth did you use?

[@dannoreinhardt]

It was just indoor/outdoor carpet from the local building supply store.

[@David-gb5hd]

waterproofing the wood ?

[@dannoreinhardt]

I used exterior grade wood, so it is more resistant to damage from water. Generally speaking, this only receives some surface moisture from splashes and is never submerged.

[@tamafishing380]

what do you use to make the stall?

[@tolispetratos1887]

Measurements please !

[@hntrains2]

Plywood does not do well in the water. How is it, two years later? Also, the hard floor will get in more easily if you did not inflate the tubes that much as well as if you did not inflate the floor at all.

[@rainerneumeister5239]

Can you put a rigid ply floor on top of a slatted floor . I just ordered my first boat and it has slatted floor. ? Apparently they are not as near as rigid on water.

[@dannoreinhardt]

Rainer Neumeister I don’t have personal experience with that, but I don’t see any reason you shouldn’t be able to do that. Is your floor a roll-out floor? You might even be able to completely ditch that one and replace with a ply floor?

[@dannoreinhardt]

Check out the follow-up where I make the seats! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4fUYqWFf9-rqsU

[@nagunaks2222]

Bravo

[@robertmatejka8306]

Hello, very pleased with the video. I have a question: does it fit the size you did? Or would you do bigger or smaller? Well thank you

[@dannoreinhardt]

The size I used was perfect. I wouldn’t go smaller or bigger, but it would probably still work ok if it was a hair smaller.

[@robertmatejka8306]

Great, thank you for the answer. Yesterday I decided to make a half floor, just to board the ship. (90x100cm) When I try, I write how satisfied I am. I can easily put it in the trunk of the car. Then I decide and make the whole floor.

[@jamiesythes6172]

Robert Matejka how did the half floor go? I’m thinking of making a floor in two half’s for transport

[@richj5382]

Saw on another site they split in 2 and used 2ft strut channel (protected) on each side to sturdy

[@CABALCANAL]

Show! 👏💯👍

[@slemvext]

Hi! Just ordered this model 4. What do you think of the size? Is it big enough for 2 adults and one kid?

[@dannoreinhardt]

slemvext it’s absolutely big enough. I’m just now uploading the second video. In that video you can see the seats I built and a quick test for me, my 16yr old, and my 11yr old. On Father’s Day I took my wife out with us and it worked just fine! I even bet I could have crammed another small child in and have been plenty safe at that time. The hard floor is essential, though, because everybody is pulled together by floor slope if there isn’t that hard surface.

[@slemvext]

@@dannoreinhardt Thanks! That sounds great!

[@FirehawkNJou812]

Where were the final measurements

[@dannoreinhardt]

King Firehawk CH that’s a good question, but I’m not exactly sure. Since it’s not a perfect rectangle I can at least tell you that it’s one 4x8 sheet with a little bit of scrap once you trim it off. I was going to measure it, but there are no consistent dimensions and the best way to mark them is to use the method of using something like a $1 drop cloth and a permanent marker.
