Ah Me Ting Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Rather than hijack @Tinny pimp project build thread https://www.fishraider.com.au/topic/89936-tinny-fit-out/ I thought I'd start a new thread where we could share and discuss the various ways we've gone about putting a floor in our tinny. So, c'mon show us what you've done, or have! It might just help someone with an idea or alternative solution.

Ah Me Ting Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Ok, so I'll get it started. I setup up a Stessco Squire 385 a few years ago. At the time, I wanted the option of keeping it available as a roof topper type tinny, so decided to make the floor fully removable. So, I built a 'truss' style sub floor on which the carpeted marine ply floor was fixed. Here's a couple of pictures: This is the 'sub-floor' aka "truss": This is how I did each side of the floor: Edited October 15, 2019 by Ah Me Ting Added more pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ah Me Ting Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 I can not seem to get these to all go into the one post. Message keeps telling me I only have 2.12Mb of total pictures to post? But, on this new post I have 4.88Mb? Anyway, here's a few more pictures: This is the floor fully installed: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinny pimp Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Great thread. There are so many different floor designs and so many thing to think about when choosing one. I took my inspiration from https://mattsfishingblog.com/tinny-pimp-project/ This design is simple to make (if you are good with a hacksaw and rivets), strong, allows for a floor hatch, no gaps under the seats, clean look as it hides the floors supporting ribs. ps ive only made the frame so far. Marine ply floor to follow soon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez, ole mate Matt made a LOT of cuts and must have used a LOT of rivets! His finished set up looks good. The under floor rod storage locker looks interesting. Great share. PS: I like your project too. Following your thread with interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Wow, that blog is epic! Huge amount of work went into that as well as a fair bit of coin. I like it though, but I think if it was possible to go up in HP a little I would have due to the weight factor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
