Thank you for your advice. I'm off to my local Lund dealer.

I am considering a new Lund WC-16 (their low end boat), using a 15hp
Yamaha. I will be using it on a small bay for crabbing, and general use. I
would like to have this boat around for a few years and am concerned about
it durability. The boat is rated for a max of 25hp and weighs in the
neighborhood of 270 lbs. I know Lund has a great reputation, but this is
their low-end model. Your advice is greatly appreciated.
