    Maximum transom outboard weight for a 1994 14' Lund Laker?

    I know its maximum hp is 35, but thats probably for an older 2 stroke. I need to get a new motor and 4 strokes are heavier. I don't know how much weight the transom can handle.

    Looking to adjust the tension on this older motor but don't have the owners manual and am not that familiar with it. It steers a little too loose.

    Shrinkwrap or boat cover (and polytarp)?

    My 16 footer has a carpeted floor. I've heard shrinkwrap holds moisture even with vents and Damprid. I have a new cover (Platinum 1200 from Coveranything that is supposed to be canvass and polyester). I'm debating on shrinkwrap or the new cover with a poly tarp over it. The boats in my yard...

    Opinions on winter storage?

    This is probably a dumb question, but I'm looking for opinions. - I put my motors in a warm indoors environment, so thats not the issue. The boat, also, has always been stored indoors. This year I have a brand new cover that fits tight and repels rain/snow well. I'm debating on if I should...

    Value of Yamaha 25 hp outboard?

    I have a 1990 25 hp Yamaha Precision Blend electric start outboard in really good shape on my 16' Lund Rebel. I'm wondering what the approximate value is on this motor if I decided to sell it. I can't find any for sale and Nada values these days where I live seem real low for boats and motors...

    Trolling motor for this 16 footer?

    I have a used 16' Lund Rebel I recently bought and am thinking about a transom electric trolling motor for it. The boat listed weight is about 500 lbs. I'm thinking maybe a Minn Kota Edura c2 and then maybe down the road adding a Nav Pro. So I'm trying to deterermine: Will 40 lb thrust be...

    Options for towing boat w a non tilt/trim small outboard (25 hp)?

    I just picked up a 1990 Lund 16'. It has a 25 hp and Shoreland trailer. The trailer frame stops a few feet under the boat, with roller brackets extending out from there and no cross bar to attach my old transom saver to. I tried to see how lock-n-hauls or my wedges work but all they show is...

    1991 15 hp Mariner -torque/trim tab?

    Should this motor have a torque tab? I inherited the motor. The 14' boat its on pulls hard to the right. Online research says an adjustment to the torque/trim tab above the prop fixes this, but this motor doesn't have one. It looks like there is a little plate with a screw there instead...

    15 hp Mariner about 1994 - torque tab?

    I have a 15 hp Mariner, from about 1994. Its on an older 14' sea nymph 14 big R from about 1974. My wife inherited both. This boat pulls hard to the right and is a bit of a struggle to keep straight. Online researching says that this is usually due to the motor torque tab needing adjustment...

    Quality boats !

    I'm curious about responses here. Here in Michigan on one of the sportsman sites theres a person quite knowledgeable about fishing boats and here is what he said: "Alumacraft, Lund, Crestliner and possibly Princecraft are at a higher level. Starcraft, Lowe, Polarcraft and G2 are all excellent...

    Older Sea Nymph vs. Newer Tracker?

    I have a 1975 Sea Nymph 14 R. Its in good shape since it had been stored in a barn for a number of years. I have the opportunity to pick up a 2015 Tracker guide 14V for a good price. I'm wondering if its worth the change, especially as far as specs go. I think the Tracker has a 6" wider...

    Replacing old rollers with bunk boards?

    Can I use tie down bunk boards when I replace old rollers with bunk boards? I dont know what tie down bunk boards are. This is only an old Sea Nymph 14 footer on a little dude trailer. I dont know why they used rollers. They're old and rusted and I think loading will be a whole lot better...

    Purpose of recessed transom on Polar Kraft ?

    What is the purpose of the recessed transom on the Polar Kraft aluminum boat I was looking at? I'm not sure i like the looks of it and there's no room for an electric motor. Also, if the boat is listed as a 17.5' boat, my guess is the inside is more like a16'. ? Thanks

    2005 Polar Kraft 17.5' ?

    Looking for information on a 2005 Polar Kraft 17.5 (aluminum) with an up front rowboat type seat. I can't find an online manual or specs. The pic I saw looks like it is semi deep v. It looks like it may have been tiller steering but maybe converted to side conso, just dont know, thats why I was...

    Broken fin off of outboard ?

    I saw a boat for sale for a decent price, but in the description it said one of the fins was broken off the outboard. The seller said he was told that this was an easy fix. Is it and how would it be done? Would it hold up and what would the price be to fix it? thanks,

    Sea Nymph 14R from 1975 ?

    Just inherited a Sea Nymph 14R that's been sitting in a barn for 12 years. It is very good condition. I tried to get some specs on it but couldn't find much. I was surprised to find out the 14R is called the Big Water. Why is that? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
