False floor for a rubber inflatable boat

Added 11 comments

On occasion, the master master got an inflatable boat. The problem was that the bottom of the boat did not inflate, as on most inflatable boats. In this boat, flooring from the boards should be placed. In view of its absence, the lower part missed, and the boat did not fulfill its functions. The master decided to make the flooring on his own. For the manufacture of flooring, the master used the following

Tools and materials:
-Plywood;
- Geotextile;
-Carpet covering;
-Heater for pipes;
-Plastic screed;
-Bar;
-Board;
-Crown on wood;
-Drill;
-Pencil;
-Rule;
-Gon;
-Fasteners;
- Loops;
-Scissors;
-Aerosol adhesive;

Step One: Measure
Inflates the boat and measures the length and width of the boat between the internal seams.

Step Two: Cutting Material
Cuts plywood sheet to size. Then cuts the sheet into two parts. Cuts off the corners of the bow.

Step Three: Geofabric
Apply glue to the bottom of plywood blanks. Glue geotissue to them. The surface smoothes, driving air. Trims excess material.

Step Four: Carpet
Carpets to the top of the floor.

Step Five: Bead
Fastens a pipe insulation around the perimeter of the flooring. Such a safety collar will not allow the edges of the plywood flooring to tear or wipe the boat. The insulation is fastened to plastic ties by drilling holes along the edge of the flooring.

Step Six: whetstone
To give rigidity to the flooring, two bars are fixed along its edges.

Seventh step: box
Makes a wooden box. The box will be installed at the stern of the boat and will perform several functions, a storage box, a seat, an emphasis for fishing rods. So, as the master still plans to install a battery for the engine in the box, he drills holes for wires in the side of the box.

Sheathes the box with carpet.

Step Eight: Accessories
Installs various little things, an arm for a fishing rod, rings, a cap for a wire.

Flooring for inflatable boat + drawer seat ready.

Frankly, I did not have to use the trimmer as a water drive, I will accept your words as an axiom. You must admit that the presented design fully meets the assigned tasks and, in my opinion, improvements are unnecessary. In fact, this is my unsuccessful example with a trimmer.

Now I read it ... An example with a wheel is not right !!! Because the wheel is fixed in one plane. It will be correct to hold two balls tightly pressed to each other ... At the same time ... These should be "freely walking" balls ... Like, take two ball deodorants, hold slippery balls to each other and try to hold !!! At the same time, shaking hands (you are in the boat)))

You don’t have to redo anything, an excellent locker, and the motor drive is made from an ordinary trimmer, settled on .... a drawer, drive it into the water and drive-ride.

Well, do not replicate this "idea" ... It does not work in practice !!!
My neighbor, too, "laughed" and made a nozzle for the trimmer screw. Together they did and tested ....
Without fastening - NO !!!
At the moment when the screw is aligned strictly perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the boat (rectilinear movement) it is most difficult to keep it !! He always tries to leave "left-right". At the same time, with the LITTLE deviation, the effort immediately goes into a jerk, because the boat also begins to turn around with its nose and the angle instantly increases. (It’s like with a strong pressure to try to hold the wheel at the very top of a sphere whose diameter is the same as that of the wheel)))))).
If the boat would have been with a keel, perhaps it would have been possible. (!!! I haven’t tried) On a “punt” it’s just WELL NO REAL !! Only with fastening ... Otherwise, do not hold the screw exactly in the middle of the boat, and even without turning half a degree !!!
