Lund SSV Project
Just wanted to start a new thread on my experience customizing my Lund SSV 16. This is my first boat other than a canoe so every thing is new to me and found very little info on the SSV series.
So far I have installed 4 seats using kingpins and stainless bases, Added a kicker, Installed a sonar / transducer, scotty rod holders, navigation lights, scotty downrigger, and moved the fuel and power line.

Looks great, did you have to buy a specific humminbird mount to work with the Scotty holder ? I was looking at a ram mount for my new fishfinder but this looks cool. I wonder how much weight they are good for cause mines a bit bigger than yours.

 Nice job guys. The SSV is a great platform to work with and 16' is an ideal size. Lot of satisfaction riggin it yourself. I had all kinds of plans for my 14'er but it just wasn't big enough. I miss having a tiller.
Keep us updated.

Reminds me of the good old days fishing Nootka Sound out of a 14' Lund. I went completely around Nootka Island 3 seperate times in that boat. Life was so simple back then.

First class all the way.
Never a bad investment putting money into a Lund, that hull will last you many many years.

well, we decided to upgrade to powered downriggers this winter. The manuals were great but was a bit of a pain when fighting fish having two guys in the back, one with a rod and another winding up the DR.
We were lucky and found a sale with 20% off all scotty products. I ended up moving the fuel tank and battery forward to under the split bench seats to get the weight off the ass end. The boat is balanced a lot better now.
