Awe it reminds me of my Lunde Tyee 5.3. Great little boat for the northern climates. Tough as nails and easy to maintain. Unfortunately I bought it in Florida and we found out real fast that Florida rain can swamp a boat in no time even with your bilge pump working overtime. I hated selling that boat but we went and got a 19' CC with self bailing deck and I put 3 bilge pumps in it. We can get 4 to six inches of rain a half hour down pour I kid you not. And the wind can pick up in minutes to 35 or 40 knots the temperature has dropped 20 degrees in literally 20 minutes. Our bigger lakes can get nasty with the bathtub effect on the waves in a very short amount of time and it gets rough with chop. One freak storm capsized six boats in lake George in a matter of minutes. The winds are the biggest threat they can grab your T top and really start pushing the boat. The wind down here comes from every direction with strong gusts so one second your counter steering and the next your being blown pushed in the direction you were counter steering. Oh and visibility when it rains that hard is like 20 feet. Go down and your swimming with alligators.

Nice! Thanks for sharing the video.
nice job. looks great. i have a couple of force,85hp motors. just sitting on pallets
I don’t think you can consider this fully restored. Looks great though.
How do these boats handle on big water such as the great lakes?
How long is it?
20' plus the egg beater.
Not restored at all. Cleaned maybe.
