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.

You can't go wrong with a Lund.

Period. End of discussion.

Discussion opened again. 15hp may be too small. My 14' light weight Valco,
would do maybe 22 with just me and with 500# of weight about 18 max. A 16'
Lund is going to weigh more, and with crab gear, a lot more.
