1973 Lund S-18 Resorter w/RATO 225 Outboard - Boating on a budget
I have always wanted an aluminum boat. This one came out on market place and I offered a trade for my old tri-hull. Offer accepted and this is what I ha e done so far. Fully on the water but also a lot of detailing to go.
The paperwork says it is an S-18 Resorter Lund from 1973. I am running a cheap 58 lb thrust trolling motor running on a 100 amp hour deep cycle battery.
I also gave a 40 amp hour lithium iron battery that I use for lights, fish finder, phone charger, drone charger and other electric needs.
This review is of the Lund S-18 Resorter with a the RATO 225-X and my experience with the two.

I think this is the cleanest and best Yukon kayak setup I've saw. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it and hopefully were inspired you.
You’re a bad driver.
I have practically the same setup on the exact same boat but bike cables for steering is genius. I used stainless steel cable in icemaker tubing...didn't work great. i did install a PWM which quadrupled my battery life though. liked and subbed
I do highly recommend making that change to bicycle cables. :) Glad I was able to give you some inspiration. Currently I'm working on an old boat which has all new challenges. Good luck with your project/adventure.
@@SciStuff Ha ha Same here, Working on a '85 Grumman 14' deep v tinny w/ 25hp Suzuki 2 stroke. Added LED lighting, bimini top, center console with steering, throttle, trailer overhaul. My wife says I prefer the modifying of machines more than the using the "damn" things...😆
@@dangareau Ah but the rewards from the tinkering when you do go out just can't be measured.
What power and speed did you use for engraving?
I am sorry to say that I do not remember what the settings were at this time. I haven't played with it much recently. I have learned that if it doesn't cut through the first time, don't move it and just run it again. When I get back to building (this winter) I'll be sure to add my settings to any video.
Whhaaatt?? Just one piece???
😂🤣
She's beautiful!
How fast can u get it to go
I'm averaging about 7 but can hit 9 on calm waters. I think I can do a bit better once I spend some more time adjusting the trim.
@@SciStuffhow fast you think it will push my 10 foot flat bottom John boat
@@lookupfoonorapper2184 I average 4mph with my 58lb thrust trolling motor and this doubles my speed. My boat is 16' so around 10mph+ on a 10' is what I'd expect.
@@SciStuffI’m ordering it today I’m thinking same thing I can carry the boat by myself so I think I can get 10mph
@@lookupfoonorapper2184 Good luck and be safe out there.
I've never heard that song piss in the night away😅
🤣😂😁At least I know that some people watch till the end now. ;)
you so took a pee on video !
😂🤣😁
Get her ready, bead on. Must be a rabbit.
💯🥳✨️😇💖💖
Beautiful property with all the trees. 🌲🌳🏡
Thank you. We love it and so does the doggo.
Looking good man! One piece at a time.
Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤
Niceeee 🔥🔥🔥
Best budget boat I ever had and a damn fun project. Thanks for the comment.
I got 2 of those
Boats or motors? If motors, any suggestions/advice?
Yeah this is no more. I changed my entire path… videos posted. Good idea at the time but you learn and this was not what this little boat needed.
Goinna be sweet when your done !!!! Smile while your sanding!! Loves going to show through.
Looking forward to the sanding. It is after all a never ending project that is just getting started. Sanding will mean I am closer to my end goal :) Thanks for commenting.
Check your state dmv to see if you have to register it if you put on a motor. In California you do.
Yes, you have to here in Minnesota as well. I'm registered. You can see my 2024 stickers on the sides.
Maybe he thought you were a racing kayak and your kayak was number 24😂😂😂😂@@SciStuff
@@RoughRaiders13 😂🤣
LOL, I fish on Lake Superior, No fan needed.. Nice video my friend.
Thank you. After a couple years, most needed to be rebuilt or changed but it was a fun project and I learned a lot. This year I refined the kayak and picked up an old boat. Let the adventure continue. My goal since moving here has been to learn watercraft. I would love to try out Superior even though the big water still scares me. Four years now and I haven't hit Mille Lacs yet and it's only 20 minutes away. End goal and bucket list item would be to go from Superior out of Duluth to Chicago or maybe one day do America's Great Loop. Not necessarily in a kayak, because I'm starting to catch the olds. Sorry to ramble but your comment inspired. Dug your chip challenge too BTW.
Looks cool!
Awesome
Hehe i wish I could walk on the bog
This is over, Axis will win.
So adorable ❤❤❤❤❤❤
So helpful! Thank you!
You are most welcome. Have fun with your build.
Good morning, Ellie! What about the kitty????❤❤❤
That is Solo and I had just let him out. Not 2 minutes and he came back in and then yep, 2 minutes after that he wanted back out again. :)
who’s the kitty!!! she just got stepped over completely:( u didn’t say good morning to the kitty
That is Solo and I had just let him out. Not 2 minutes and he came back in and then yep, 2 minutes after that he wanted back out again. :)
And they taste so good!

Beautiful property & puppers! Daddy sounds so nice! Can I come live there?
We certainly do love it here. 🤣

why does it have a tail
I honestly thought that the cat was gonna jump on her head
🤣

Do you have a build video?
Thanks for asking. I’ve got a couple in depth walk arounds. They are a couple years old but on my channel.
I’ll check it out thanks
I just bought this exact kayak, and was looking around and found your videos. Very cool!! Thanks for giving me some insight and ideas for a build. BTW what fish finder is that little yellow one?
Glad my build could inspire. I have no idea, it was the cheapest one on Amazon. It broke late last year though and I haven't replaced it but hope to soon.
Only thing wrong here.... you need about 11 more rods !!!! ( I hate seeing 12 rods on a kayak) the idea is SMALL !!!!
🤣no doubt. I usually carry 2. One short to get into the brush and one long. I also keep them baited different for the right opportunity. Any more than that and they get in the way.
I had that same control box and decided to upgrade it due to it not being waterproof it shorted out. I can drop a link for a heavy duty PWM. Love the build though!! Very cool.
Thank you for the insight. I think that when I do upgrade again, I'd like to go to a remote control. Maybe next season. ;)
$$$ That’s the route I would go if I had the disposable income 😂
@@AnthonyG-ff9hd I agree. I won't be getting a remote control motor $$$ but I have seen mods to add a remote control to an existing motor system $. That should be a fun winter project. As for today… I'm going fishing.
Very cool
Thank you.
You really need to slow down. You're going way, way too fast for this drive.
🤣😂
@@SciStuff 😄
Build Ellie her own dog bed!!!
She has one in the house but I am certainly contemplating one for outside.
How did you pass the bone cable from one end to an other? And did you seal it?
Yes, I sealed it all the way through and fished it through the interior with a clothes hanger from the back hatch that I cut in. Since this video however I have made a lot of changes. I now just put my battery in the back so when things go awry it is easier to troubleshoot. I posted a short of the initial sea trial earlier this week. Now I am refining it and will keep my battery in my crate. When I get some time here I'll post a longer video of the changes I made wince this video. Thanks for commenting.
