https://boston.craigslist.org/sob/boa/4802153073.html A little bigger than what you are looking for but a great deal down on the cape. Motor alone is worth at least $1500.

+1 agree!

Save it!

Nice work so far, its gonna be sweet when its finished. Keep the pictures coming.

BTW I think your boat is the S-14 DLX, The "Deluxe" model! https://lundboats.com/pdfs/old-catalogs/1983.pdf

Nice looking Lund. Looks like it is in great shape but that console is so out of place. I think it is just way out of scale for the boat. You can probably sell the console and ad it to the new motor fund.

Nice catch, that's a lot of meat!

I have gotten much better about wearing the inflatable PFD but never ever use the lanyard. Never wear a helmet when I ride my bike. I am what I am I suppose.

My buddy loves his 14' Fury, his is a tiller. 25mph in my 16' is in perfect conditions with the dog standing in the right place. I can always get it to at least 23.5mph. Combined weight of me and the pup is about 225lbs.

I think a 20hp would get a 16' on plane without too much problem. I have a 16' Lund with a 25 and my top end is 24-5mph. My buddy has a 14' Fury with a 25hp and it is faster than my rig. It seems like a 20hp on a reasonably light 16' would do 18-20 mph.

Boat and trailer looking good. You have got some nice "scrap" aluminum laying around,

Cedar is a good choice, its light and very rot resistant. There are a couple threads on here where guys used cedar or cyprus for their decks.

Nice looking project. I assume you are planning to leave the boat in the water and not trailer it?

Unless you want to leave it bare aluminum I wouldn't try to remove all the old paint. I would just feather out the scratches and bare spots then prime those with self etch then paint everything you want to paint. Just my opinion but the existing paint has been on there for 40 years so they did...

That's a great looking boat. You must be excited, I know i would be with a spanking new ride!

The wood gunnals help hold the boat together. Along with the seats they are integral to its structural integrity. I like the wood, gives it character!

Seems like a pretty narrow beam. I would def look for something wider, the other boat seems like a good price.

Thanks for the info, I am gonna get one. I just like the idea of having all the power off when the boat is on the trailer. Will keep anyone from leaving anything on or hitting the starter(I have no key).

Nice job, boat is looking good. What is the brand of that battery on/off switch? i would like to put one in my boat but the only ones I have seen are the perko ones that are for 2 batteries.

I think so but I am not a Jon boat guy so I am not certain. I am sure someone who has done it will chime in.
