[QUOTE="wmrmurphy, post: 450082, member: 23286"] Greetings. Here begins my saga. It may be wordy at first but bare with me and I'll get to the juicy parts. My first boat was a 1982 Lund Tyee 5.2. My father bought it new and I purchased it from my mother when he passed in 1997. As my kids grew we rapidly outgrew it and I moved up to a 20' Duckworth. Loved both of those boats. When my kids all grew up and scattered to the wind and I got older the Duck was just too big for me to handle launching and loading by myself so I sold it. Believe it or not, I had that boat for 13 years and sold it for almost what I paid for it. I decided to look for a smaller craft that would be easier to handle for 1 person... I looked at a few Smokercrafts and a few other brands and stumbled upon this old Lund. I figured why not? My first boat was a Lund why not have my last boat be a Lund. I drove north almost to Seattle to look at it and decided to give a go. It had been sitting outside with an old red cover pretty much for the past 10 years - had a 40 hsp Yamaha 4 stroke with few hours (supposedly) and the trailer had new tires. I hooked my jeep up to it and hauled it home to mi casa. It seemed a bit heavy to me for a 16' boat but little did I know. Unfortunately, I did not take any photos of the inside with the hideous red carpet - I thought how hard can it be to replace carpet? Here's what it looked like when I hooked up: [/QUOTE]
