    Intex Mariner 4 modifications and Tips

    Thanks for the info man! I really appreciate it. I am building a floor this weekend and was hoping to just replace the slated floor instead of putting it on top of it (to ditch the weight of the slatted floor). I've read some about the floor bowing from the keel pushing on it when its just the...

    Hi, did you get an answer to this. I'm building a floor and trying to figure this question out as well. Seems like most put the wood on top of the slated. If possible I'd rather have the wood replace the slated (ditch the extra weight) if it's stable enough. but I've read some about the keel...

    Hi, I'm about the build a floor as well. I was hoping to just use the wood floor and ditch the extra weight of the slated floor. Do you put your wood floor on top or did you replace the slatted with the wooden. I don't do a lot of fishing so standing a lot isn't a concern of mine. I do want to...

    I hear what your saying about keeping it thin if using both floors. Thank you A LOT for the response. Your perspective is greatly appreciated. I also hear you about the weight of thick plywood being potentially more than the slated floor etc. I think I'd prefer to just use a 1/2" wood floor...

    I am about to do the same. Did you end up going with the 1/2"? how do you like it? do you put the wood floor on top of the slated floor it came with. It seems like most do, but if I can get away with not...it would be nice to shed the weight of the slated one. I don't do a lot of fishing so...

    Thank you for the response, I really appreciate it! I do plan on reinforcing the transom and putting a small outboard on it (instead of the troller), but I don't think that will happen until next year. I don't plan on putting swivel chairs in, but I do have some comfortable camping chairs I'm...

    Well that's a bummer. I'm finding it really hard to get questions answered anywhere. you wouldn't be able to help with the questions at all would you? I apologize if there's a 90 day rule about posting (that I missed). I am trying to do this project this weekend.

    Intex Mariner 4 modifications and Tips

    Hi, I'm about to do this to a mariner 4. Did you end up going with the 1/2" or 3/4"? and did you put the floor over the slated floor or replace it? I would like to save weight if I can and just use the wood floor, but not if the stability sucks. Also, I can't find the source of it, but I see...

    And when you talk about it flexing, you're talking about the "push up" from the keel? what size ply are you going to use? I am going to do mine this weekend, so trying to sure up plans before going to home depot. Also, I've seen some talk about making the floor slightly smaller due to...

    Intex Mariner 4 modifications and Tips

    Hi, I really like what you did, and am trying to do the same. I have been trying to figure out why people seem to always put the wood floor on top of the slated floor? Is it a stability thing? because like you, I would rather ditch the extra weight if I could. I also see a lot of people put wood...
