Lund WC 14' Boat

[@Broxty]

I'm going to build my boat exactly to this spec, looks phenomenal dude, well done!

[@BCBackwaters]

@@Broxty thank you! Reach out if you have any questions.

[@billping3224]

Nice job. Thanks for the ideas!!!

[@storyman34]

Good job. I have something similar with my 1468 Legend. Flat floors really add to the comfort. I built a front pitching deck, two floors and a rear casting deck. All my stuff is hidden under decks, front battery,rear battery, fuel tank, safety equipment. I have two trolling motors installed, front and rear. We mostly bass fish, never troll. But it great to see other guys that modify basic aluminum boats. I will make a video in the spring. (we just got hit with a major snow storm and I guess I am watching boat videos, can't wait)

[@BCBackwaters]

storypunman Same here cold weather and has limited me on making a video on the build. Let me know when you post a video I’d love to see it!

Have same boat puchased same place except have the 15hp, you gave me couple good ideas on modifications, thanks

[@mikewatson1942]

Great job on the build. I am looking for casting deck ideas for my 14 ' right now seems like you came up with a good set up. cutting board shims is a perfect solution also. thanks for the video

[@BCBackwaters]

Mike Watson Thanks for the great comment! I’ll be putting up a new video soon going into more depth on the build.

[@deuces2k]

Just got a 14' 20hp tiller boat and always looking for mod ideas. Nice video!

[@brendanclark81]

Great looking boat. I've got a 16'WC with similar modifications and it's a very well outfitted boat for fishing.

[@BCBackwaters]

brendanclark81 can’t go wrong with a Lund all around a quality boat!

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

Great video. Thanks for making it. I like the rubber mat you out in the bow.

[@Hudson4426]

Nice set up

[@BCBackwaters]

Thank you!

[@lorianhouse5740]

what a beaut...and some super cool details!

[@zenith3515]

Man, I want that platform so bad! I have a 12 foot Lund.

[@BCBackwaters]

12ft would be a little less stable with a platform but they are fairly easy to make. I’ve got a platform on my 12’ Jon boat and it’s nice to have even though it’s not that stable.

[@connormiller7947]

I found this same boat for only 350 and I’m going to go look at it tomorrow

[@lalo3045]

i remember having a 12" aluminum boat it got into cruise with a 5 hp force motor not bad

[@timestep8851]

Nice little setup there... give u the ole thumbs up...👍🏻

[@t.j.watson7544]

Super clean little boat man 👍🏼👌🏼 im lookin at getting a 14 footer right now just like yours 🎣

[@BCBackwaters]

Thanks!

[@CruiserMac]

Looks good! I have a 14' Lowes that I want to set up that way.

[@nathanho3767]

Hi, if you don’t mind me asking, I’m think of getting the same boat as you and just wanted to ask if your recommend it.

[@CruiserMac]

@@nathanho3767 Yes it is a nice boat, I have since sold it though as I wanted to get a more open floor plan.

[@mountainstomarshes8966]

Little boats are the best boats!

[@jaredmanns3185]

I’m looking at getting this boat, nice job with the customizations. Could you send me the floor and deck plans/pics? If so let me know what the best way to do so would be. Thanks!

[@dongarden3577]

Hello again! I was wondering if you ever found a link with that clamp on transom mount?

[@BCBackwaters]

Sorry I never found one the place I got mine was bass pro but I do see that Amazon has different versions of transducer mounts

[@dongarden3577]

@@BCBackwaters I can find this on the bass pro shop website in the states, but not on the Canadian site. Sold out though.

[@charleskovacs5920]

Great job of customizations just bought a used boat. Could you send me the floor and deck plans/pics? If so let me know what the best way to do so would be. Thanks!

[@BCBackwaters]

Hey Charles, Check out my other video regarding the deck build it puts it into a little more detail. Unfortunately I never had any plans.

[@jamesg4195]

This is pretty much the same setup I want too. Just wondering if the 25hp is too much on this boat, or if the power of the 25hp is still ok on a boat this size? I bet it fly's with it. Also, I have never seen the outboard trailer support before. I want to get one too. Nice ideas in this video. Cheers.

[@BCBackwaters]

Yes it goes pretty fast took me some playing around with prop pitch to get maximum speed but once I figured out what was best is when I got my maximum speed. Was fast enough to pull up someone on skis.

[@OscarPerez-ec6eu]

Nice video

[@johnjames1267]

Sweet set up, what's the thrust on the trolling motor?

[@johnrich1014]

Where do I find pictures of how you put in the front deck? Been struggling on how to install and saw the anchors in front

[@BCBackwaters]

John Rich I’d be happy to help reach out to me on Instagram with some photos of where you are at and I’ll do my best to help you out!

[@johnrich1014]

BC_Backwaters just picked up boat, stripping paint off interior and was trying to figure out how the heck people mounted the deck. Do you have pictures, measurements or a link to the strap that goes on the front two bolts and how it’s placed?

[@johnrich1014]

BC_Backwaters also the wood for the seats is toast. What type of wood did you use to replace the back two? Or are they stock and in good shape? Your build is the best I’ve seen on this boat!

[@BCBackwaters]

The stock ones I had where in good shape I do have another video with better details unfortunately nothing with exact measurements

[@johnrich1014]

BC_Backwaters thanks! Is that a custom strap on the front mount to the deck? The one secured by the two bolts/nuts in front of boat?

[@gordonbrinson650]

What size is trolling motor? 40lbs thrust?

[@BCBackwaters]

It was a 30lb at that time but I think a 40 would have been a better choice

[@klank67]

Remove the plug when traveling ... MNR in Canada will be having a word with you about it otherwise (yikes!) ... nice setup btw.

[@bernardmiron6732]

Why are you tied to tail lite brackets?

[@BCBackwaters]

If you look closely it is the rear bumper on the trailer that I am hooked onto. The trailer actually has holes meant for hooks. No tail light brackets on the trailer they just screw right into the back bumper.

[@dirtydogvideo]

nice job on the boat!

[@BCBackwaters]

Thank you

[@dongarden3577]

I have been looking at getting the same transducer mount you have but can't seem to find it anywhere, even on the basspro website. Would you happen to know the brand and model number?

[@BCBackwaters]

I have another video with just details about me mounting the transducer and if you look in the description I put a link to Amazon where you can find one! Hopefully this helps!

@@BCBackwaters hello again. I watched the video on the transducer mount, however that video seems to show a different set up than what you show on the other video. I'm looking for the clamp on mount that you show in the video, not the mounting of a transom plate. Am i missing the proper video somewhere?

[@BCBackwaters]

@@dongarden3577 You are right I totally forgot about my first one and yes I got it at Bass Pro but I will try and find it online over the next day or two for you. I am currently camping with limited reception.

[@blakedrury8860]

How fast is it running with the 25hp?

[@BCBackwaters]

I can’t remember exactly I want to say 36kmh but that I believe was fully loaded the floor added a lot of weight it was much faster with no floor and just bare bones.

[@BCBackwaters]

I should also say I was able to pull an adult on water skis up!

[@alainmartel1603]

Hi i got a 14'' DLX lund to with a 20f Honda motor, with long foot. The problem is i think my boat is slow cause the nose is very hig. Can you help me?

[@BCBackwaters]

How much gear do you pack? Also the pitch on your prop makes a huge difference. When I loaded my boat down even with the 25hp it didn’t go as fast as I expected but when I changed my prop to one with less pitch my top end speed was much faster. I would recommend prop change first or move some of your gear to the back of the boat it will help get you up on plane.

[@DinorwicSongwriter]

Nice

[@mikefitzpatrick8667]

Hi Jason. Any way to get a list of suppliers for your modifications and detail on the bow build. Would appreciate any info you are willing to share. Just got an older 14' Lund and would like to make it a little more functional as you have. Thanks, Mike

[@BCBackwaters]

Mike Fitzpatrick Suppliers? Everything in the boat is custom made by myself to fit. Obviously wood, paint and outdoor carpet was from my local hardware store. Send me your email and I’ll send you some photos of the build and answer any questions you may have.

[@mikefitzpatrick8667]

Yes info on the build would be appreciated. New at this (plus old and cannot hear) and did not know about Scotty where I think most accessories came from. Did not hear where you got the seats. That is what I meant by suppliers. [e-mail]. Thanks Jason for any info.

[@BCBackwaters]

Mike Fitzpatrick I’ll email some information over to you this evening.

Hello my friend what is the price of this boat

[@joelcr250]

how can that thing take a 25hp motor ?!? I just bought a 14' welded aluminum Gregor boat and its only rated for 15hp, WTF ?? someone explain ?

[@joelcr250]

8:37 is sits so back-heavy in the water with that big motor. 25hp must scream across the water in that light boat

[@BCBackwaters]

CR2504life It’s a little heavy on the back like any other boat but Lund is definitely a thicker aluminum boat than most. With my casting deck and anchor the boat rides perfectly and goes pretty good! I can have 4 adults and 2 kids and still plane. That being said the boat is not light weight at all...It’s heavy!! Its rated for a 25hp but I’ve seen many people go for a larger motor as long as you are under the transom weight rating.

[@joelcr250]

@@BCBackwaters My Gregor is welded and .063" thick, and is only rated for 15hp 3 person. How thick is your metal ? .063"?

[@BCBackwaters]

CR2504life Yep .063 on the Lund maybe has to do with the shape maybe someone else can chime in on why yours is only rated for 15hp
