1974 Mirrocraft 16' Deep V Restore/Mod

[Captain Ahab]

I used the bench seat brackets with a cross member and L brackets on the ribs on my 16' mirrocraft build

Is your build on here? I'd love to see it!

You can see some of it here

One thing you do not need to do is build the center box - I did that because of the pedestal seat but realized it was wayyyy overkill


Run the alum L pieces port to starboard with some bracing from the hull below and you will be fine!


Used self tapping alum screws to mount "L" brackets to the ribs and then built up from there - same on the side - "L" brackets held on with SS nuts and bolts

I finally got some work done on the boat yesterday! It was about 65 and sunny so I pulled it out of the garage and started setting up the front and rear deck. Would probably have gotten a lot more done but it was warm and sunny and the beers were oh so tasty so I also threw a pork butt on the smoker. All in all a fantastic day![attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1425906623965.jpg[/attachment][attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1425906647064.jpg[/attachment][attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1425906660131.jpg[/attachment][attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1425906674161.jpg[/attachment][attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1425906690938.jpg[/attachment][attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1425906703742.jpg[/attachment][attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1425906720836.jpg[/attachment][attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1425906733084.jpg[/attachment][attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1425906744236.jpg[/attachment]

Why is it so dang hard to decide how to lay everything out!

I just put together the"rack" that my 3 batteries will sit it. Oh and I'm smoking a corned beef brisket today too.....[attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1426522000268.jpg[/attachment][attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1426522009329.jpg[/attachment][attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1426522020172.jpg[/attachment][attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1426522031544.jpg[/attachment]
