Built-in tinkle drain? Good boat for the serious beer drinker but needs more cup holders with peanut bowls. A bit too high-tech to unnerstand.🤔🤔 I like pics, though.

Seriously big hole in the aft. 🤷‍♂️

Lund is too good a boat to drill holes in. They have or used to have a walleye tournament in Detroit that you needed a Lund to fish in. Great boats but a bit overpriced I think. I know you won't drill holes. Just kidding of course.

Well the holes are handy for tying the boat down on the trailer. Can’t really see any other use except maybe a large anchor.
Hack 🇺🇸🍺🍺

It is said " a boat is a hole in the water in which you pour money". This one seems to give refunds.

Should keep the beer cold on a warm day.

looks like it may be a training vessel for rowers. hull takes on water to increase drag on the hull, making it more strenuous to row. Maybe?


Agree...I suppose, since as an avid "small boat guy", I can see no other purpose. As has been mentioned above, I too, have had a "self-bailing raft", & a "self-bailing kayak", both of which are inflatables, the kayak having an inflatable floor. The principal works well with the "drop-stitch floor" on the kayak..... not so much on the raft.The raft's floor, yes, allows water to flow out, but also allows it to flow IN at a rate that, imo, is unacceptable.
Kinda like having a really high-capacity furnace and a really powerful air-conditioning system in your house...... because... YOU HAVE NO DOORS OR WINDOWS !

If it's NOT a training vessel, not sure what the purpose could be. It would go far in explaining the objective, if we could know where the "normal waterline" would be with the two seats occupied, as is apparently the set-up.
I have a fibreglass 14' drift boat that easily maneuvers in "skinny" water, but the hole placement (distance above the bottom) observed on the above boat would certainly challenge my "minimum draft" specs, without inflow overcoming outflow. And then there's that "missing transom"..... lol .... supposed advice to fellow rower as the principal (owner ?) takes his seat...."once we board, just DON'T STOP ROWING UNTIL WE HIT THE SHORE, OKAY ?" .......hehehe .
So where did this pic come from ? Looks like it's in somebody's driveway, did the photographer give any clues ? Caption ? Post it in a newsletter for rowers or maybe a rowing club "meme" ? IDK, but it's definitely odd.... love to know more details.

No fishing poles in that picture. Guy just waits till the fish swim through the boat and scoops them up. Clever.

That's what a boat looks like when it was designed by a committee under the direction of politicians.

I was actually quite curious about the reasoning for the alteration, but since it may just be a humorous Photoshop.... here's the fictional thought-pattern of its owner.
"I really want a boat that I will only use on Sundays, Ash Wednesday, Easter, Ramadan, Hanukkah, and of course, Christmas.

You know.......... the Holy(holey!) Days !!!

lets give credit to where its due....the first knuckleheads to come up with this idea were the three stooges. They were all fishing in a wooden boat when they had a leak so curly drilled a new hole in the bow to let the water out that was coming in the stern area.Classic.
