JellyMan Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I am going to be picking up a Seahawk 4 this week and I want to put in some hard floors and carpet it. I drive a BMW coupe so I was thinking about cutting into 4 peices that way I could slide them into the trunk. Anybody have any input on this? How to measure and all that? Should I be ok with just the wood on the bottom? The less crap I have and less time it will take to get out of the car and in the water is a plus.

Rosco Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I have a Seahawk 4 and put a hard floor in it. I used one piece of 1/4" plywood and made a rough trace of the bottom with the boat flipped over. Then just trimmed it to fit. I then used Pipe foam and glued it around the outside. This keeps it snug and I know it wont cut into the boat. Im not sure how well 4 pieces would work. I think it would flex a lot unless you had a way to keep them from moving at all. Something that ran down the length to tie them all together. This is before I put the foam on. I'll try and find a picture of it completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Only have a Cell phone pic my buddy took. Its a great setup though. Easy to stand and move around in, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyMan Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 See thats my issue. I cant fit the floor in my car. I am going the have to make pieces somehow. Maybe just doing 3 pieces would be better and I was thinking about hinging them. That way they stay connected but I can fold them onto each other. The foam is a good idea also. Thanks for the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbarge50 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 drive a honda civic and live in a dc area aprtment, and went with a seamax 10.6 inflateable with a 4 piece aluminum floor. Standing is no issue. A heavier duty boat might be the way to go. It fits in the back seat of my car and my trunk. I also have a pedestal, seat, 55lb thrust trolling motor, and downscan. Almost as close as I can get to a bass boat without storage or a boat slip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyMan Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 I have completed my boat! Floor and all. I will be taking it out for a fish tomorrow and I will do a vid of my setup before I hit the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
