Status Not open for further replies. Joined Jul 20, Messages I have been lurking on this forum for some time now and finally decided to join. I want to thank all of the folks on the forum who are ready to help those in need of information. For it? Now due the the empowerment that you have given me I now offer my boat mod for your viewing pleasure and hope that it helps others as other posts have helped me.
I searched quite a few posts looking for a 12' alum mod but only found a few and neither was a mod that I was looking for. I really liked the mods that I saw on boats of longer lengths and was going to mod my boat accordingly but that was not to be possible. Here she is I bought her about 4 years ago and have never had her in the water! I know I know, hey life happens. KD Fisherman Seaman Apprentice. Joined Jul 21, Messages Re: 12' foot Mirrocraft aluminum boat mod I do have a question for anyone that may have an opinion.
I am not sure what to do with the sides of the boat, the inside sides if you will. Originally I was going to run carpet all the way up, but since I did not make a casting deck, I would now need to run the carpet from the floor up to the gunnels and the lower ribs would be tough to get the carpet around and I don't think it would look too good.
This is the impasse that I 1980 Mirrocraft Aluminum Boats No am at. Check out Huron Angler's thread, he used the bedliner material and indicated that he would not do it again on his boats. I know how you feel about the casting platform, I really like them but the COG on my 14' Klamath will not allow for one either. Cheers, Kyle.

I like the 3 doors on the seat, that is pretty slick, seems to be coming along nicely. Building your own boat is really cool, when I redid mine I changed the lay out of both casting decks to suit how I use the boat, no matter where you look on it you can say "I did that myself" it is really neat.
I have a 16' Sea-Nymph "bass" boat I catfish ,2 livewells,2 casting decks ect that I stripped to the hull and rebuilt, prior to finding this site so it never occured to me to take pics.
Nice build keep the pics coming. Re: 12' foot Mirrocraft aluminum boat mod abf said:. Re: 12' foot Mirrocraft aluminum boat mod The deck is coming along nicely. That will sure make fishing more enjoyable.
What thickness and grade of plywood are you using for the deck? Nice work on the progress so far. Fishpoop Petty Officer 3rd Class. Joined Jul 8, Messages Re: 12' foot Mirrocraft aluminum boat mod Nice work so far!
Are you going to secure the floor somehow or are you going to let it loose floating so they can be removed? I'm thinking of doing something similar. I'm working on a 13' feathercraft skipper that is kinda like your boat. I'll be posting pictures of my rebuild when I'm finished hopefully within the next two or three weeks. The deck is coming along nicely. Fishpoop said:. Nice work so far! Re: 12' foot Mirrocraft aluminum boat mod Well I'm done with the carpeting at least for the moment.
I still haven't decided if I want to build another platform for the trolling motor and carpet it. For now here are some pics of the hatches that I finally decided to go with. Re: 12' foot Mirrocraft aluminum boat mod Very nice. Joined Mar 26, Messages 23, Re: 12' foot Mirrocraft aluminum boat mod I like it. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. I'd love to have a little boat like that to fish the skinnier river areas near me that I wouldn't dream of putting my boat in.
Re: 12' foot Mirrocraft aluminum boat mod Wow that looks really good I am really impressed with the three hatch system. That looks really nice and very functional!

I've been thinking about how to tackle that and have had similar ideas. What kind of outboard is that? Looks like a 10hp Evinrude fisherman to me from the 70s. Any more photos of the project? Joined Mar 13, Messages 1. Re: 12' foot Mirrocraft aluminum boat mod Very nice, My father just bought me a 12 foot Mirro craft boat. I have never owned a boat before, but I would really like to get a motor with a steering wheel console and linkage and all of that. I am going to attempt something similar to what you did with the floor, but I need a little guidance if you don't mind.
What type of wood are you using for the flooring, what type of carpeting, do you glue the flooring down, or is it more of a floating set-up where it is not permaently attached to the aluminium. I am going to attempt a storage compartment such as yours, but I would like to make it a 2 comartment setup, with a steering wheel console.
Any suggestions might be helpfull if you wouldn't mind. Toney Cadet. Joined Mar 14, Messages Re: 12' foot Mirrocraft aluminum boat mod I have almost the same boat,good ideas. I started my mod a couple days ago, trying not to steal your design, at least not all of it ha ha.
Really looks good, great job. Your pics dont show how the floor is fastend,care to share. Will post pics of mine when I figger out how. NetMatrix Petty Officer 1st Class. Joined Sep 2, Messages Re: 12' foot Mirrocraft aluminum boat mod That is a very nice looking fishing boat.
It really doesn't look like it really cost all that much money. The center seat you made with the 3 storage compartments is very nice. The little loops might have been like you said a cheap and simple way, but sometimes that's the best way to go with it.
A thought is which crappie can see this colour from the ways notwithstanding loads of sediment or foliage in a water.
