Replacing floor deck?


Guest

Question

It's Tool Time soon! My floor deck has developed a rotten spot and I am toying with replacing it myself this fall. The boat is a '93 AlumaCraft Lunker LTD 16'8". The floor deck is fastened with rows of large rivets and smaller rivets secure the aluminum sides for the storage compartments to the floor. Anybody done this previously or know how to go about this? I wonder if I can just chisel the floor rivets, drill out the smaller rivets where the compartment sidewalls attach to the floor and slide the new floor/carpeting into place without having to mess with disassembling the storage compartments. I'd secure the floor with stainless steel screws. Anybody had to do this on one of these or would I be better off to send it out to be done? I'd thought about just buying a new 'Pro V' but with a baby on the way that idea was soon squashed. Thanks guys.

      Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology.  Battery powdered items will always have their place.  I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!!  That would be a bit loud and smokey!

      That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty.  Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.   As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows,  you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.
