Nice job with all the add ons. Your boat looks great! I also did some work on my 14 ft. aluminum Starcraft, 30 hp. electric start Johnson with hydrofoil fin, 3 padded swivel seats, marine radio, stereo radio/cd player with 4 speakers, bimini top, automatic bilge pump, flat, carpet covered floor, electric trolling motor, fish locator, depth finder, GPS, level floatation in seats, running lights, floor lights, spotlight, oars, just in case, rod holders, cup or bottle holders, top speed 30 miles per hour, (32 with tail wind) Had people remark that my boat is the best equipped 14 ft. on Lake Stclair. Trailer has side guides and non-skid walk out platform. No wet feet for me! LOL! I love this boat. I like your LED lights so I might replace mine with them. Thanks!

Awesome, you should do a little video showing your boat? I got a 14-foot boat, too.

Nice tips and tricks man. I think I prefer this over covering the entire floor, flat like in a bass boat. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love the simple mods and I'm looking to do something very similar w/ my 1st 14' alum boat myself. I actually am looking to move the back bench up a bit to get more of my weight to the center of the boat. Maybe 8 or 12". It's got solid rivets so I'll learn a bit about R&R'ing them. I'd like to add a couple seats like your front seat as well. Lights too. It's a used boat and I'm replacing the transom wood and fixing a crack in the lip of the transom w/Mat Gas & Alum. rods. Then I might put a floor in between the 3 benches. I was looking for Ideas and I really like what you did. Thanks for sharing. God bless.

Awesome setup!!! Do you know by chance, how many inches there’re between each of those bench seats? Reason I’m asking, I’m thinking of getting a Klamath 14 just like this…and my bait tank for minnows and threadfin shad has a 23. 3/4 by 23 3/4 foot print…and was gonna put it between the bench seats. Thanks….

Considering doing something like this. Great mods. How does that boat do in relatively shallow water (2+ ft)?

Would a 5HP 4cycle Merc.O/B be sufficient to push the boat around the back bay?

Sweet build. Did you brace the flooring or did you just lay the plywood directly down? Thank you!

That's an awesome setup! Simple, elegant and efficient. Btw, how do you mount the front deck to the boat? Do you use some rivet to fasten the deck to the Gunwall ?

Klamaths have a triangle shaped aluminum support. I put a a larger triangle made of plywood on top and bolted through it and also the rails.

Simple enough, two sided tape. Used a hard plastic "plywood" backing so it would stick better. Got the plastic from home depot. Two sided tape was cheap from Aliexpress just took awhile to get here.

Are you running 24v to that trolling motor? If so how you running everything off 2 batteries in series like that with no feed back issues? And if only using 12v does it still work good? I have a Minn kota maximum on a 14 and I’ve been debating on getting the terrova but I haven’t because I don’t have space for 2 batteries upfront yet

12v but my would recommend 24v for longer run time.

Do you get up on plane with the 15hp? And with more then just yourself? Do you happen to know top speed? I have a very similar boat and wondering if a 15hp is enough. Thx

Well done. Maybe relocate the batteries away from the fuel tank? Or is it okay there?
