Lund Alaskan Boat Restoration

- I restored this Lund Alaskan a few years back. This style Lund had the gas tank mounted on the port side. When the boat was in the water it sat lop sided. So, when I restored it I installed a 17 gallon tank below the floor. I also installed a new casting deck and added more flotation as needed. All new wood, new carpet, new hinges, new vinyl and also installed an AM/FM/CD Player and a horn. I am now selling it to buy a bigger boat. I hate to sell it but don't need two.

Gosh darn if fellas! I am starting my Lund restoration here next week and now I'm changing my mind on going gray inside instead of Red! Ugh...thanks... :)
I used ford light gray implement paint from tractor supply
thats what i call a great job. i just purchased a 92 18ft Lund in July of this year. i researched every 18ft aluminum boat i came across. i have no regrets at all, ive been out 9 times in the short month ive had it. funny thing is, i sold my 36ft Catalina sailing yacht. After 28 years of sailing and three sailboats, to buy a small power boat was big change. i will gladly admit, the Lund 18 has been everything i hoped for and more. it has a 40hp Suzuki with a 13" pitch prop that i upgraded to a 14"pitch, it now goes 30mph, i gained 4mph. i also added a chart plotter with GPS and an HD depth finder, ac converter and a stereo. i also upgraded the electric panel to a 6 switch/fused. i also put guides on the trailer for single handed launching. im on the northern Chesapeake bay so fishing and crabbing is a lifestyle here. your boat is beautiful, i learned so much from your vid, thank you for documenting all the work you guys did, very good work.
Thanks!
What a pleasing video. I loved the soothing music and the video editing was perfect. So much better than talking.
I just bought an 87 Lund Alaskan with an 85 Yamaha. A bit of a fixer upper but nothing like your project. So much you can do with a tin boat.
Nice job! You've inspired me. I just bought an old Lund just like that and I'm excited to give it a face lift.
me too, after a year of research, im convinced that Lunds are trully in a class of their own. i cant say anything honestly bad about them.
you guys did an awesome job, all that hard work paid off. Its tough to find a good crew like that willing to put in the endless hours.
This is very well done! Nice job you guys. Thanks for sharing.
Great job. It looks awesome. Keep up the good work.
Very Impressive. Looks likes lots of hard work, but the finished product is something to be very proud of!
Stay tuned I have a 20’ Alaskan I am working on now
What a super job! Good luck on your new boat. I just purchased a 94 Lund and have some work to get it in good shape. Thanks for sharing your great effort.
Beautiful work!
nice job and nice boat.
I love those old boats, have a lot of fond memories fishing out of a old Lund boat.
Damn, the music got me slow dancin'
Nice restore, pro level right there.
Thanks!
Most awesome, just bought a older 96 Alaskan clean Boat and in a few years ill be doing the same. Nice job
That looks really good,very impressive work on that restoration. Produced a nice neat boat,well done.
Thanks!
Better than new!! Great job
Absolutely awesome job!
Except for not going ALL vinyl, I approve. Nice job!
I like carpet until a northern or musky gets in the boat. Easy to wash out this way.
WOW nice job
Great video. It gives me ideas for my 18ft Alaskan Lund that I would like to restore.
Looks awesome
Thats really nice man!!
Thanks!!
Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
Grits Burgh Thanks... sold that one and purchased a 20' alaskan with a full windshield. I will post that video when i get it done.
I can't believe you left the old open cell foam in the boat, even if it looks dry to the eye it is wet inside and it never ever dries no matter what you do. That foam will rot the new floor and if you ever take on more water that you can pump out the boat will sink like a boat anchor.
really great job. I'm looking at restoring my little '71 C-14 but not that elaborate. I'm reinforcing the transom by having someone weld a piece of aluminum channel in it, then I'm just going to repaint the outside and put new seats in it. Did you paint yours in a booth? Beautiful paint and decals.
Paul Cihoski wasnt painted in a booth. Thanks! Good Luck on yours!!
I need to replace the floor on my 2002 18’ Alaskan. How did you secure the floor back down screws or rivets? And did you use 3/4” thick marine grade plywood? Beautiful job on yours
I used stainless steel screws I had ordered in bulk locally thru fastenal (a lot cheaper). Boat had 5/8 plywood I replaced with 3/4. I could not find marine grade so i used a better grade plywood.
Outdoor guy Thanks very much!!
Nice Job! I am attempting the exact same restoration. I have a question for you: on the bow, when you attached the angled aluminum (ledge for the plywood deck)to the side of the boat, I'm assuming you riveted it to the boat side. as you approach the bow your ledge goes below a rivet Line for the flange on the outside of the boat. this is typically below the water line. did you rivet this as well and did you have any problems with leaking? any key learning's or advice?
Rand Woods I didn't rivet the angle aluminum to the outside of the boat. I just anchored it to the lower braces. It provided more then enough support. If you have any other questions my email is aharris@npdodge.com Good luck!
Was the foam waterlogged? Im going to re-vynil the floor and try. And lighten up my 1800.
Not at all
What color paint did you use? Looks amazing!
It was a stock Chevrolet color from I think 1996
Was the original floor pop riveted down? If so ,how did you remove them? I’m lookin at changing the floor in my Lund rebel. It’s riveted,and the outside ones leave little room to drill out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Yes the floor was riveted down. I drilled them out and then used self tapping stainless steel Phillips head screws when replacing it
Thanks for reply.
I need to do my wood bottom bayliner. How do I prep the wood and is it really hard?
