1976 16' Lund Pike D Reborn

I am still waiting for my finger to heal up. I planned to get some more work done this week to the boat. I am taking it out of town again this weekend. I am going to remove the front bow mount trolling motor along with the battery and give those to my father for his sail boat. I am not sure if I will put one back on the front or not. I really only want a trolling motor for if my outboard goes to crap. I will still have the 36lb rear trolling motor that I will keep on the back.

Took the boat up to Alexandria MN this last weekend. It ran great for about 10 minutes then it started bogging like crazy at full throttle. I am getting pretty fed up with this motor. We still got to fish however! It was my sons first time fishing and he had a blast!!!

He caught 2 really large sunnies and now all he wants to do is fish haha.

At least the boat was able to tow in my dads sail boat!

Found my problem with why it was bogging down so bad. The top coil ground wire was Brocken and corroded.

Yea, that looks nasty. Good catch!
