We have a caravan so have done something similar, worst problem was the motor tipping back into the water which your longer mounting rods clearly fix the problem 👍

Seriously I've watched a dozen of these mod videos and yours was the most professional of all of them. And there were lots of cool ones. You have a talent. A guy could buy all parts for this boat for less than $500 and sell the boat for $995 and people would snatch them up. Not sure if you could make a good enough hourly rate to make it worthwhile. I wouldn't enjoy it myself, but if you wanted, you have a side job ready for you and you would earn spending money no doubt. Just curious since I'm building one this winter for the summer...how many total hours do you think you spent actually laboring on this project? Not the waiting around for next steps. Just imagine you had everything you needed...no trips to the store or waiting for paint to dry, etc. Under 10 hours? 50 bucks an hour wouldn't be all that bad. You'd get good at it, too, if you had an assembly line going...Now I'm going to quit my job and do this full time LOL. Make like 200 a year and make $100k extra LOL.

I definitely had less then 10 hours in it. I have a decent wood shop so I was able to do it pretty fast. But for most people you could do this with a skill saw and jig saw. I watched alot of videos of other peoples before I decided to do mine. It works out great because I pull my camper and it fits nicely in there and I can still take it out on some of the small lakes we camp at

@jruth0506
Жыл бұрын
Stability of the boat is fine as long as you do the 1 piece floor and not 2 pieces. Stability of the motor mount without the bars is not good the motor tends to want to tip back and put a lot of stress on the boat. Putting the bars in helps from it doing that.

Yea the mariner comes with some sort of a hard floor so 1/2 would probly be fine, also you could try a 2 piece floor to make it easier to transport. I tried the 2 piece and it just wasn't sturdy enough to be able to walk and move around the boat.
