Tinny gets a RAISED FALSE FLOOR | DORA PROJECT 🧜‍♀️

Been thinking about replacing your wooden floor? Want to go higher? Want to go stronger? Aluminium is fantastic as it won't rot, it's light, strong and easy to work with. Dora is ready for a big change as the floor gets raised and upgraded - ready for the new casting deck.

Wile I am not building a boat I am starting to build stuff for a campervan in aluminium. The roof rack was easy enough but when I needed more variety of construction methods for more complex shapes, your videos have been so useful.

Dora the solar powered floating BBQ. Looks shmick! Keeps the vids coming.

I like the use of EVA foam tape 👍

[@ShroomFishing]

Awesome editing!

[@townsville69]

Great presentation. Well shot and easy to understand. So good to see a fishing/boating vid without having a gopro strapped to someones head for the whole thing giving me nausea.

[@GriftCo]

I know that feeling too well! Thanks for the kind words!

[@pen1910]

only found you tonight by accident on FB doing the casting deck … went back to the start after that and have got to this stage … MATE, WELL DONE … enjoy the vids and your honesty … big tick

[@GriftCo]

Thanks Mate, greatly appreciate it. Messages like that give me the motivation to keep going :)

[@projecthiluxpigrig2.095]

Nice work as usual bud!

[@RMWilliams2010]

Great vid mate subscribed 🤙🏽 q) Why foam and not storage? Thinking of raising the floor in my busta and getting rods stored in the void below. Was it a weight thing

[@GriftCo]

Thanks mate, it was more so the cavity size is small and I was adding considerable weight to the rest of the boat. If the void were perhaps a bit larger I’d put something in

[@brianflanagan9476]

Very practical and well thought out design. My only question, when you use the riv-nuts on the trusses, are they countersunk so the heads aren’t sticking proud of the surface?

[@GriftCo]

Hey Brian, yep these ones are. The one caveat to this design is the reliance on a good seating of the rivnuts. It could be (and has been a couple times) problematic if the rivnut spins within the cavity as there's no easy way to stop the rotation, unscrewing the fastener. What I've since done is made some tack welds between the rivnuts and the frame to hopefully mitigate that risk. However I wonder if locktite might've been an easier method.

What thickness u channel did you use for the floor? Awesome build thanks in advance

[@GriftCo]

Hey mate, it was a little while ago now but I think it was either 3 or 4mm

[@pen1910]

Can you tell me what sort of bolts did you use for the bolting of the floor and why ... worried about the 2 different metals reacting to salt water ... intend to leave chequer plate exposed .. cheerd

[@GriftCo]

Hey Pen, good question. Unfortunately there’s not too much you can do other than use stainless bolts, unless you wanted to rivet the floor down. What is generally used is Tefgel or Duralac to put a barrier between the two metals to stop galvanic corrosion

[@Shreko84]

What program are u using to draw ur designs on computer, have u got past experiences in doing design drawings as u make it loook soooo easy

[@GriftCo]

Hey Steve! I'm using Autodesk Sketchbook. I'm an industrial designer by day, boat tinkering hack at night so I'm behind a tablet most of the work day. That said, Sketchbook is bloody awesome with the tools to help with perspective stuff and it's totally free. Worth downloading and having a play.

[@Shreko84]

Grift Co. on it cheers have u got fb page for ur build?

[@GriftCo]

@@Shreko84 I've been a little lazy on the FB front to be honest. These vids manage to take up so much of my time. Best bet to stay on top is through Instagram @Grift.Co

[@Shreko84]

Grift Co. just downloaded autodesk sketch and now just to figure out how to draw the boat in and use it to full advantage

[@GriftCo]

I'd like to personally apologise for the heinous 37 seconds of me waving my posterior infront of the camera. I shouldn't be stooping to such a low for likes! 🍑😘

[@callanrobison2674]

Liked for the posterior shots.
