    Only the necessities: '83 Lund Pike 16D w/35hp Johnson

    This is our boat. We've put several hours on it since we bought it a couple months back. It's running good, however I had an issue the last trip out where the fogging screw in the bottom of the carburetor bowl fell out into the housing and was spewing gas and I didn't notice because I was kind...

    What a fun little boat! So far it’s been impressive, but it needs a little tuning. The motor sits a couple inches deeper than it should, I’d love to add a decent jack plate to get it perfectly positioned. I feel that there is water trapped inside. We have had it out a few times and almost...

    Father Son boat project.

    We took it out last week, ran like a champ. Fished for seven hours and came back, there wasn’t enough water in the boat at the end to kick on a bilge. Fantastic ride and impressive performance. I can’t wait to get the small changes done.

    I love it, more room than my bowrider had. Can’t wait to get it operable.

    Father Son boat project.

    So far we rebuilt the carb, replaced the plugs, replaced the water pump, I learned that at 12 he can drive it with me after earning his boaters safety certificate with the 35hp on it so I decided it would be best to leave the 15 off and fix this one. (Under 12 it has to be less than 35hp). My...

    You did a fantastic job! Thank you for sharing that, I’m looking to get ideas for ours. She cleaned up nicely, but she sat in a barn since she quit running in 2012. So I am going to fix everything I know to then attempt to take her for a ride, we will do the overhaul this winter

    Took the ride from Detroit to Chicago to pick it up with a clear understanding that it was a gamble on showing up and the boat being junk, or getting home and finding out after inspection but a gamble I’m comfortable with.

    Father Son boat project.

    My son and I fish at least a couple days out of the week and have recently purchased a Father Son fishing boat project. It’s a 1983 Lund Pike 16D, it came with a 2stroke 83 Johnson 35hp (which is the largest a 12 year old can legally operate in MI with an adult present). The boat has been out...

    Need insight on Lund Pike 16D

    Hello, My son is interested in purchasing a 1983 Lund Pike 16D. I owned a Sea Nymph when I was his age so I think it’s a great style of boat to start off with, I’m looking for any insight from Lund owners or specifically Pike/previous owners that could give me a heads up on things to be aware...
