This is a pictorial account of my 1983 Lund American Super Pike restoration and upgrades. There were two intermittent upgrades that I have skipped to get to this most recent completion. This includes new carpet, particle board changed to oak, a reconfigured dashboard, new live well and new seats. There are many more pictures but hope these are enough to give you an idea of what all has been done.


Really nice job. I bet all that Oak adds some weight to that boat. Nicely done though.

Actually Saw1 going to the oak shaved off about 10 pounds. The old particle board had soaked in a lot of water weight over the years. Also in a few places I was able to go with half inch instead of three quarter inch board, like the bench seat backs and dashboard. Lund boats would not help me with the live well so I had to construct one myself to fit the area. The hatch on the floor is for rod storage.

Fantastic work. Looks new! Like the Johnson 70 the 80s and 90s motors last forever!

awesome job sir! did that come as a dual console or did you build one for the passenger? I've got an '83 Mr. Pike and it is a single side console. One on her side would make it nice. great job on the resto!
