    Newbie pondering tinboat and saltwater...

    The galvanic corrosion isn't an issue when the boat is out of the water. Pretty sure anode only protects the motor. Some people attach an anode to the transom that will help protect the hull.

    Newbie pondering tinboat and saltwater...

    I live on MV, use my tin in salt exclusively and have not had too many corrosion problems. Just finished total redo and did find some corrosion but that is to be expected on a 96' that has lived its life in the salt. I trailer it and rinse after use. I would not worry about the tin in the salt...

    Monark mystery leak

    Could one of your buddies be pranking you? Dumping a couple gallons in when he goes by just to drive you crazy.

    1996 16' Lund Laker Project

    Decided to add a removable seat to the new ride. All the parts arrived today and yesterday and got it all installed today. I ordered a post that was too long, then I cut a bit off the bottom before I noticed it was narrower. Spent the next 1.5hrs sanding that part down until it would properly...

    Lund C-14 project

    I love seeing another Lund on the site. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Will be curious to see if the prop change gets you up on plane, 8hp is a bit light for that hull I think. I had a 8hp on my 12' Lowe and it pushed it pretty good with me and my dog, think we used to hit about 20mph.

    60's Sportsman runabout

    Looks like you could split the seats without too much trouble. That base is probably what is holding it together. You would have to find something to cover the outside backs with.

    Cool project for someone near Chicago

    Makes sense. I didn't really notice if the trailer was decent, that would factor in too.

    Fish Scale?

    Boga's are great and are bulletproof. I am glad I bought it every time I use it. I have long ago forgotten what I paid for it.

    Fastening Carpet to Rubber Mat

    I don't see why you can't use carpet glue or contact cement. Just do a test first to make sure glue doesn't "eat" the mat.

    Bolt attaching water pump sheered off!

    Replacing impeller on my motor has been a nightmare! First drive shaft was stuck and it took me 3-4hrs to break it free and remove the lower unit. Then one of the 4 bolts holding on the impeller housing sheered off in the block! tried to remove it with a screw extractor which broke off in the...
