Hello all,
New to the forum and relatively new to boating. I picked up a 16' Alum Lund S-16 in the fall (pics attached) and am doing some work to it for the upcoming fishing season and have a couple of questions.
1) Sounds like a simple question, but where are all of you drilling and mounting cleats on these boats? I'd like to have one on each "corner" to tie up with, anchor, etc, but am unsure as to where to mount them?
2) What are the best bets when it comes to storage? Not for anything big, just the battery for the fish finder, extra rope, etc. Is there a way to modify the very front bench into a "locker"?
3) I've picked up some LED nav lights, a fish finder, battery, etc for it, and am generally pretty handy when it comes to installing that kind of stuff. Is there anything I should know about these boats? Any recommendations on things to look out for? Anything I am missing that is a "must do"?
Thank you in advance for the help. There seems to be a lot of great info here, I look forward to learning as much as I can!
