1966 boat, 2022 outboard here. I'm not a boat nut (I'm a woodworking nut) but I think there are concepts applicable to all such things. There isn't right or wrong, but rather fit your personality and approach to the hobby. In woodworking, many people get caught up in the fun of having cool...

When I was 3 my dad bought a 1966 Lund C-14 Fisherman--brand new. He named it "Maromist" using the first two letters of each of his four son's names. I learned to fish in it. I took my HS buddies fishing in it. My nieces learned to ski behind it. As my dad aged, I took him fishing in it. He...

No problems with my 4cyl Outback towing my 14ft ancient Lund with two weeks of food and clothes and dog stuff packed inside. But that's carrying two people and at most 600lbs on the trailer. I guess another question is how you're towing? 10-30 mile hops between prairie lakes or 500 mile trips...

You don't see too many people making solid state physics references so you've got to respond when you get the chance, eh?

Hexagonal close pack.

I'm trying to think of what's wrong with this idea and not having any luck, unless something in the foam formulation might degrade the PETG of the bottle and lead to failure down the line.

Blue (DuPont or Dow) and pink (Owens Corning) are both XPS foam and are both closed cell. Same chemicals, same process. Blue has a thin plastic film on both sides and pink doesn't, but the foam is the same for all practical purposes.

If your battery is exposed a case can help reduce effects of UV on the actual battery enclosure, etc. A case can help prevent accidental shorting. Neither issue is very likely but worth considering depending on your setup.

Keep your motor(s) out of the water for sure. Look at your invasive species list. Depending on time of year you might get insect or or other eggs laid on it. Any cracks or crevices (my 60yo boat has riveted on strakes that have large gaps) are likely to become homes for things, both native and...

If this doesn't take you there directly, your specs are on page 21. https://www.lundboats.com/bcom/catalogs-and-brochures.displaypdf.json?pdfName=1989-Lund-Catalog.pdf&pdfPath=L2NvbnRlbnQvZGFtL2x1bmQvdGVjaG5pY2FsL2RvY3VtZW50cy8xOTg5LUx1bmQtQ2F0YWxvZy5wZGY=

EXCELLENT! Thanks for finding it, and confirming Bailey Boat's input.

They'd have to clamp to a horizontal to work. But other than that, a lantern hanger is the likeliest idea I've seen. I'd like to see some photo confirmation. Not having any luck finding anything but may just need to find the right search term.

I agree with LDUBS they look too lightweight for motor clamps. Motor clamps probably wouldn't be stamped, they'd be forged--even on the Seagull they're forged. I could find no stamped examples in about 5 minutes of searching. These are light to medium duty. Also, as a stamped item the notches...

Had 2.5 on my 14 and saw 6mph, which is about max displacement speed. A 3.5 isn't a big enough jump to plane it so won't go much faster. Over its nearly 60 year history it's run with a 4, 5 and two 25s (a 50s Johnson and a 90s Merc.) The 5 would partially plane. The 25s would hit 30+mph and...

Similar experience. I have a '66 Lund C-14 with a 2021 Tohatsu 9.8. Alone, balanced, and trimmed, 17mph but 12ish if it isn't balanced. Add a buddy in front, 12mph. And a second, 10ish. Depending on the year, that Sea Nymph empty is 200-300 pounds more than my Lund, so it's like having...

got my 12v Terrova from Trolling Motors.com. No issues. The warranty is covered through MinnKota so should be no worry. The "new" Terrovas have brushless motors.

I did a software update before my last two-week trip of the year and come to think of it, the cable wrap issue didn't happen. It stopped and unwound (but didn't resume the lock.) still had the oscillating issue when on a track at moderate speed (1.2-1.8mph or so.)

Don't get me wrong--I love the setup. This little tinny was never meant to have a bow mount and for years I used a tiller. Part of the issue is that the boat is so small that wherever I sit, the opposite end is barely in the water. (The middle seat just doesn't make sense.) when I have just one...

I have a 14' Lund from 1966. Recently put a 12v Terrova on it with iPilotLink. There is no question even the 12v overpowers the boat. At certain speeds, when tracking on a heading or following contours, the motor hits an oscillating feedback loop and overadjusts more and more. SpotLock will...

What you've heard is correct. The reason is clear in my earlier post with the discharge graph. Simple voltage meters work by measuring voltage of the lead acid battery. The voltage curves are different for different batteries. There are numerous battery meters available. I use the Victron...
