Floors in a tinny

Recommended Posts

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.

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:

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:

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

😲 ... 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.
