Quote from: "4shore"
I can't help but notice how floppy the sides of this boat are. Is this normal?

Well "floppy" is a relative term. The Aquas I've owned had flex along the hull sides. How much flex is bad, I don't know. A mid tier boat, it isn't going to be as stiff as a higher end hull. These craft are known for being rather light for their length allowing lower HP to propel them. Sounds like a typical Aqua hull to me but I'm not pushing on it either so.....

Not a real comparison but just a weak example, your hull is listed at 2550 lbs. (probably dry) while a 23 Contender is listed at 4200 lbs. dry weight.

I'm thinking you're fine.

Fair enough. I have also been thinking about adding bulkheads between the stringers when removing the floor. As far as I can see there are no bulkheads fore or aft of the fuel tank coffins. Will this cause stress points or anything else? Seems to be common practice around here to add them in.

Well, we haven't seen a lot of negative comments from those who do, assuming they're still around to post them :o .

Again, why not? Might make it a little quieter when you're hunting ducks. :idea:

Good luck.

While you're in there, why not.  It would give the deck more support too.

Fishbox done. Top,bottom and sides all insulated with 2" foam and glassed in





Spray foam is just there to help round out the corners. The low spot is where the pedestal seat goes and its backed with 3/4" ply

How much you figure it/they weigh? Bet they look heavier than they are.  :salut:

This rebuild still happening? I wanted to make seat boxes for a long time. Also need to recore fuel hatch.

Would be nice to see finished job.

4shore hasn't been active on the Forum in well over a year (17 months).

Hey guys. Been a while....

I still have this boat and actually have a second of the same model that has a hard top and an older optimax.

Long story short I have switched teams and am at the tail end of a seacraft restoration. On top of that I’m building a house and moving soon. I want these boat to go to someone who will finish up the project. 

I’m willing to let the whole package go CHEAP! Please text me at 443-735-7062 as I don’t check this site frequently.
