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 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 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.

      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.

      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.
