    Been awhile since I have visited the site,so I dropped by for a visit. Anyway,I would like to share with you my plans of maybe purchasing a new Lund within the next six to eight months if all goes according to plan.

    Bigger motor on boat now.

    Well,I finally found a bigger motor. I traded my old 1970 9.5 Johnson in for an older 1960's Evinrude Fastwin 18 outboard. The Evinrude was priced at $450.00,...but I got it for half that because the dealer I bought the Fastwin from gave me $200.00 for my motor as trade. I am guessing that my...

    Boat seriously underpowered w/9.5 HP Johnson

    As I suspected it would be after trying it out this week at a local reservoir,...my 1973 Sea Nymph 14R is seriously underpowered with the little 9.5 HP Johnson that came with it. As I have stated before, my boat is rated for 25 HP. Even at full speed with the wind to my back,she still could not...

    Should old gas be dumped?

    I need your opinions about this. The boat I bought the first part of March of this year still has a half tank of the old gas that the previous owner did not run all the way out. It has sat in there for a whole year. The guy I bought the boat from said it should be dumped and replaced with fresh...

    "Wanted" 1973 to 1990 25 HP Johnson short shaft motor w/ manual rope start.

    For those of us who own Sea Nymphs

    Being a newbie to the site,I did not see a Sea Nymph board under the Brand related discussion boards,Chris. How about one? I think we Sea Nymph owners need a board of our own,too.
