Hey everyone! My name is Brent and I've been bass fishing for about 3 years now. I'm currently in college so money for a project is a little tight, but I'll make it work. I'm contemplating purchasing my friends boat, which is a 16' 1970's Lund. I do not yet know the width or the depth of the boat. That is currently all I know about it, but I will be checking it out next week. Here are the pictures he sent me.
As I said before, I really enjoy bass fishing. Most of my fishing is done on a small lake that is electric motors only. I am in college so I'm on a pretty tight budget. Therefore, I will most likely not have a outboard motor, unless I find a really good deal. I will definitely be mounting a bow mounted trolling motor. 99% of the time there will be 2 people fishing out of this boat, both of us are about 175lbs. I'd really like to have a front casting deck and a floor. Both of us would much rather stand than sit while we are fishing. Would a front casting deck be safe for one of us to stand on and maybe lean on a butt seat while the other stands on the floor in the middle/back? Or would this be too unstable? From what little you can see, do you think this would be a good platform for me? Sorry I don't have exact specs. on the boat. I will update as soon as I can.
