Hello All,

I own a 2004 Lund Explorer with a 60HP tiller.

While fishing this weekend on Lake Shasta in Northern California, I realized that the floor boards beneath my drivers seat were rotting. So, I now need to replace them, which is quite a production.

Since I need to pull everything out, I was think about converting to a center console with a steering wheel. I've scoured the web for ideas, but haven't come up with anything (feedback, other experiences, etc.) for a 16 foot Lund that has been converted.

I'm interested in a number of things:

1. Is this a good idea, or should I simply repair the floor boards, use the boat, then sell it when I want something different?

2. Does anyone have any experience with a center console conversion on this boat?

3. Will the boat lose or gain in resale value with such a modification?

4. Any sources that you can recommend for the "right" console for this boat?


Thank you for your thoughts and consideration.

Best,

David
