Jul 31, 2016 · Great forum you have here! I've been lurking awhile gleaning tips about my 2002 Lund Pro-V 1775's rotten transom. I've seen several threads on the subject. Using a composite replacement like Coosa Board comes up often. However, no one seems to mention any actual results or experience with using it on an aluminum boat.

Sep 13, 2021 · I recently purchased a very clean 2006 Lund Fisherman 1700. It was garage kept, excellent interior, and was clearly maintained well. A week after I brought it home I noticed some bubbling in the transom paint. This was something I overlooked when buying the …

May 3, 2019 · Have owned 3 Lunds, 2 used ,1 new, (all pre Brunswick.) including my current Lund bought new in 2001. No transom,or any problem with current boat.

Jul 13, 2016 · The transom issues experienced in the last 20 years on Lund boats, are likely due to poor material choices, poor design, and shortcuts in manufacturing.
