Hello,
I have been perusing the site for awhile and have gathered many good ideas from seeing all of the successful rebuilds that have been completed.
From that, I have a new to me 18' Lund Alaskan with a 2001 Evinrude 75hp engine. The hull is a 1990 and is all original currently. With that in mind I have now ripped out all of the waterlogged foam (all 260 lbs of it) and leak tested the boat, which revealed two small leaks. The plan is to redo the foam with closed cell foam and add a casting deck at the back 3 feet of the boat. New plywood flooring with vinyl, a livewell and various storage areas throughout the boat. The exterior of the boat I am planning on leaving until the winter, no need to waste time that could be spent fishing! Below are some pics of the boat original to where it is now, along with a blueprint plan I am hoping to follow.
