Earlier this summer I bought a 1976 Lund Guide 315 that I am currently doing a very very slow rebuild on as I only want to work on things in the evenings Mon-Fri, that allow me to have it usable again by the weekend. With that in mind, I am starting to put serious thought into layout and such for the big project this winter. As I get to actually doing it, I am sure I will have other questions, but for now I need to know where to get a new capacity plate issued for this boat. The one on it is 34 years old, appears to have been moved around the boat so many times it resembles swiss cheese, that has been taped back together, there is no ink left on it hardly at all, other than faintly making out the model info, the weight and HP can not be read, and all in all it will be a tremendous eyesore on the finished project as the boat will look like new when I am done. Does anyone know how I go about this? I have tried to call Lund on several occasions, and I am not product bashing by any stretch, but they pass me around from person to person until I wind up in a voicemail box I can;t get out of and leave a message that is never returned. They are not the same Lund that they were 30 some years ago when they bought Shell Lake, so they may legitimately not have this info anymore I don't know, but there has to be a way to get a new one.

Thanks for your help.

Jeff

BTW, most of my reconditioning so far has been on the trailer, but here are a couple before and afters if anyone is interested.

I got a new one for my boat. I live in PA and on the Penn. fish and boat commision websight i needed tp print out a form, fill it out and send it in, with a 7$ check and within a week i had a brand new one. As a bonus kicker it had larger capacitys for my boat off of the measurement of the boat. (i did not lie about any of them either) So look it up on your states fish web sight, it may be similar to what i needed to do.

BTW lookin good so far on the project.

Location: where the fish are...

dude you have an awesome start with a good trailer, SVT and I bought a 1977 lund guide 315 you can find our build thread in here. I have been fishing this boat this summer and it is everything you could want from a 15ft boat that can fish 2 super comfortably.

Good luck with the build, ours took a good 6 months but we did paint everything rebuilt the trailer built decks, new motor everything has been done to ours
