My little lund project...

[Eric_Kruger]

Anyone else remodeling their boats? I picked up a little lund that was in pretty bad shape a few months back and started tinkering. I needed dry storage and somewhere to store a battery and tackle up front to get the nose down in the wind.

(all foam is being replaced from inside the bench in the next week with side box's that will be all foam. I know i need to replace it to keep the float capabilities back to factory...)

Started here....

Finished product...

12 or 14 foot? I would remove the middle bench if you havent already and put storage up the sides if you need more and a regular removable seat/post in the middle. Thats what I did with my old lund 14. With those old lunds, they really feel more opened up when you do that. Kept the floatation under the front and rear bench, didnt have any problems. Sold it to my brother in law about 5 years ago and he loves it. Flotation isnt a problem and he isn't a small guy, 6 4, 265.

My advice would be to make as much storage as possible, use good quality fasteners, make sure they are lock nut or use loctite. Boats take a pounding and fasteners come loose.

Looking good so far.

This is a 14 footer. I did remove the middle bench as well as gluvit the seams and rivets, I had two that were weaping, so I figured I would just do the whole works. Once I get the side box's done, I'm planning on re finishing the outside. I hear one of the big body shops on TV will do a small boat for a few hundred bucks, after stripping the inside, I really don't feel like doing the outside alone! Lol

I redid a 16ft LUND about 10 years ago and added a livewell and lot's of storage and put carpet in.

It was alot of work but the boat turned out great.

Nice work! I love to see rehab projects in process!

A couple of years ago I renovated my old Lund 14'. It's amazing how a little TLC can do wonders! Putting a floor into it made all the difference in the world.

Have any of you had to replace the transom on one of those 14' Lunds? I have one that has the small splash pan across the back and the transom is rotten. If you could give me any tips before I dig in to save me time I would appreciate it. And, what type material would you replace it with? Just marine grade plywood? Coated with something, or just plain. Appreciate any heads up you can give me
