irishfield Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 "Thank you for buying a Lund boat..." OSER The hats been a great source of laughter around the marina. Be damned if I'll wear it...I just show it to people. In all seriousness, we've got all the bugs out of the boat and the Lund rep is buying me a brand new 70" Motorquide wireless for the bow. Still working on him for a fishing trip to the NW Territories for this nightmare. Still waiting on a couple parts from Lowrance that have been back ordered for 2 months and a new 50/200Hz tranducer that we waited 2 months from Lund and they sent a single 200 skimmer instead. For those that were at Lakair and watched me beat the s hit out of that 102C on the bow....we sent it back and got a brand new one. It froze exactly the same as the first and I found what it was was interference from the helm unit. The transducer cable was coiled amongst the wiring under the dash and the sonar pings fired RF thru the 12V wire to the bow. Seperating this mess fixed the problem...nothing wrong with the unit itself afterall. Warning to anyone that has Attwood/Swivel Eze power pedestals. Mine were all recalled because they have a cracking/splitting problem from overweight lads and new ones are being shipped N/C and you're to destroy the old ones....so also be cautious of "slightly used" pedestals coming up for sale in the classifieds! That all said....some thing is calling me...time to get back at it....
Guest gbfisher Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 Nice set up. How's the ride? WHERES DA FEESH? I got a choice of either a leather jacket or tunnel cover. Ill trade ya!
irishfield Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) Andy...the hat (one only) was a "kind" offering since they can't currently provide us with the TWO leather jackets they owe us. As for the ride...to all that said I was going to miss the ride of my glass boat ....this (like yours) rides thru 2+ footers without even bouncing AT 50 MPH. I don't need to slow for boat wakes...it rides right over them. You don't even think you're going over 30MPH and find you're hitting over 45+. Can crank a full bank turn, trimmed up and not cavitate the prop... Edited July 22, 2007 by irishfield
bigfish1965 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 The hat plunks a nice big 'L' on your forehead...hmm...
irishfield Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) Yuz right bud...word would be cavitate.... Opps Edited July 22, 2007 by irishfield
danc Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 You mean to tell me that all I have to do to get a hat like that is to buy a boat like yours? I'm ordering mine first thing tomorrow...
Clampet Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 Take the L out of Lover and it's over. How come they still owe you 2 Jackets? If they're part of a promotion, didn't the dealer figure he better have some vailable 'on hand' just in case he sells a boat?

Not dealer responsiblity. They come directly from Lund (well a clothing mfg in Toronto actually) as part of their spring catch offer.
Guest gbfisher Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) Thats a funny hat... That it is. , I'm glad I settled for a tunnel cover. It came with a large bag of extra snaps to put on the boat. If I want to use it. Edited July 22, 2007 by gbfisher
scuro Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) I like the "L" on Laverne's sweater better Edited July 22, 2007 by scuro
bigbuck Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 L O S E the hat!!! Jeez, the folks over at Lund must be sleeping. They let a fish do their marketing!!! (has to be, any person with a semi normal sized brain wouldn't come up with a hat like that) It's good to hear that the bugs are being worked out of your boat. She'll be running and operating tickety boo in no time. I'm green with envy. I need a couple of more years before I can justify that kind of purchase.
Greencoachdog Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 ... but what we all want to know is the answer to the $64 question... Have you caught any fish on Temagami with the new boat?"
irishfield Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) Yes Glen...through out the Bull...it has been a lucky boat with over 90% of our trips =ing fish caught. ..and NO...she's not holding her arms out like that fart in Ottawa.. I made my F-in-law release it...cause it was hooked outside the lips...ticked off or what... Edited July 23, 2007 by irishfield
Mike the Pike Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Wayne good to see you back .Thanks for those fish pics.We expect alot more MTP

irishfield Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Posted July 23, 2007 Thanks Mike... I knew your were...just supposably I'm the only Lund owner with a Monday boat (after the 48 hour company party)
ccmtcanada Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 LOL...loved the hat. I believe that Glen asked if YOU caught any fish....seems to me that Leah and your F in law have caught fish....LOL. Good to see you back Wayne!
bbog Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Hey irishfield, buddy of mine just got a "new to him" Lund and it does all the things you describe (couldn't be happier with the comfort and handling) - problem is all the mounting hardware keeps coming loose. Never experienced this in previous boats, is this one of your problems as well?
