While this isn't a huge modification, it is an upgrade that may give others ideas. My son (8) likes to go out with me but gets a little cold sometimes (he doesn't have built in insulation like me :lol: ). So, I was at my folks place last week and snagged their unused Mr. Buddy propane...

I’ve got a Lund WC16 with a 15” transom. When I bought the boat it came with a longshaft Suzuki 15hp. Since then, I have added a riser block to get the motor at the right height; however, the transom still sits about 5” below the gunnels. My issues with a short transom are twofold: 1. With...

I just thought I’d start this thread to share what I’ve done to my boat. I live near Seattle, WA so I fish freshwater and crab saltwater. The main driver through all modifications has been clean and efficient usage. That meant building storage compartments, cleaning up wiring, and clearing the...
