IF YOU WERE INSPIRED BY THE ORIGINAL VIDEO... Now this behind the scenes look better details the way this project was pulled off. I specifically went through hours of footage and condensed it down into what should be explanatory and visual account of how I did this build. Thank you all so much for your interest in the original and I hope this will better assist you in your build should you want to take on the task!! Totally DIY! Totally worth it!

I've seen a lot of these extensions but this one takes the cake so far. Adding the rod storage is critical.

I wonder if you used like 6 bigger pvc tubes for rod holders . That might be a way to do it. Put multiple rod ends in each tube.

Good idea.. BUT..The issue I had with that was the bigger size was thicker and would have been an issue to flare and bend up into the bow.. Thanks for watching and commenting!

stephan, Great job.. Liked when you showed whats under the floor. Will help me when I have to run more wire from bow to helm on my 2020 XL.. L molded plastic to go under rail to floor in "L"form and bent aluminum to the slight bend to cover my runs to GLS10 . Thanks again

How difficult was it to remove the front casting deck completely? Did you have to cut the carpet and then replace it?
@stephansmithoutdoors
@stephansmithoutdoors 5 ай бұрын
I rolled up the carpet and removed the screws from the wood.. ALL NEW CARPET when I put the new deck back on, I wrapped it in carpet and put the screws through the carpet and the wood to the aluminum framing. So if needed to be removed wouldn't need to mess with removing the carpet.. Not difficult that's probably the easiest thing to do.. IMO nothing about this was particularly difficult.. Just time consuming. If considering doing this I would recommend watching this video over again several times. Not cause I need views.. I think one should have a real grasp of the undertaking.. Thanks for watching and commenting!

​@stephansmithoutdoors Thanks for the prompt response. I love what you did. I'm thinking of putting the rod locker next to the existing rod holders as I don't want to move the front seat forward. I want to put a recessed foot pedal tray in front of the seat. Do you think this idea would work? Thanks!

I would paint whatever wood you use with an oil based paint or sealer before you carpet it.. Seen some bare wood ones out there... Afraid that just won't last.. If your going to put in the effort do it so that it lasts.. My advice.

Stephan, how much BS was the foam filler, also with as much thought as you put into this job I was surprised that you didnt run wiring inside pvc pipe.
@stephansmithoutdoors
@stephansmithoutdoors Жыл бұрын
So the biggest thing about the foam is make sure you have low ambient humidity, mix small parts at a time to strategically put it in the areas it needs to go and let it expand, then add more as needed.. As for all the wiring, it was held up while I poured the foam so it all sits above the solid foam.. and NOT BURIED like it was from the factory.. That's why you have to be careful cleaning chipping out the old foam so you don't nick your wiring..

Hey one more question. How did you secure to floor?Or is it floating? Why didn't you use PVC as wire channels before you poured foam in? Thanks again
