If we ever get a hot day here I will set the boat out in the sun to see how hot the gray Duraliner gets, I have a buddy who has a carpet edge serger-binder so I am seriously thinking about getting some light gray marine carpet, cut it to fit, surge the edges and put some snaps in so it can be removed easily, so if it does get hot that decision will be easy.

Finished up the Port side yesterday,
All that is left is Starboard side boards, splash well area, install fuel tank and new fuel lines, then install the engine and console.

Hope like heck she runs true in the water!

Do not know how much weight I lost in the removal of the water logged wood and foam but I know it is a lighter boat just by the RPM's and the feel of the tow on the Pick-up when I pulled it to and from the paint shop.

Yes Oops, after 4 months of working on this project, "I can smell the water"!
I am Ready for a beer on the lake instead of in the shop!

Re: Lund Nisswa Restoration

OK, between working this weekend and the grass needing mowing every other day I got a bit more done.
Port side storage area is installed.
Installed new fuel hoses and sending unit on the fuel tank, got the fuel tank installed, and all of the water system plumbing hooked up and routed.
Hope the fuel or water sytems do not leak.

This is the fun part----putting back together is easy work.

Tommorrow the splashwell and engine go on.

I am declaring the 1986 Lund Nisswa Restoration complete!

Doubt I could have done it without this Forum and all who helped, Thank-you!
Will be water testing the boat later this week.

The Evinrude is 99 model, runs like a sewing machine. I had a 70HP Johnson 2 stroke prior to this one, was a good engine except it did not like to idle for long periods, I can pull cranks all day with this one.
I am proud of the boat now, just like I was when it was new.

On the water today, everything went quite well.
No leakage, all electronics worked.
Boat top end speed was about 7MPH faster than last summer @ 37MPH, must have been all the water weight that slowed her down.
The sun was beating down and the duraliner did not get hot at all, think I will still put in removable snap down carpet though.
