Sweet looking fishing boat, seems I've seen it at Ucluelet sometime back, eh?
Yes quite likely Sparky. I go there every year. Along with Kyuquot, my two favourite SW fishing grounds.

Rivets vs welded is similar to Ford vs Chevy. Airplanes have rivets and I've been in some awful old planes. Lunds are warrented forever, I believe, to the original owner. Crestliners are made in the same factory, and they are welded. they also have a lifetime warranty. In the midwest, Alumacraft are also very popular, and I think they are riveted also.
I have been considering a Lund Alaskan 1675, which is a little under 17' long. It has a flat floor--good for old mens knees--don't have to step up to the casting platform in the bow. I really want a Boston Whaler Montauk 15, but for some reason they are not popular in this part of the USA.

If i was going to buy, i would research the diff. between welded and riveted boats . I have talked to some fishermen who told me they had some minor leaks and had to tighten up the rivets over time. I dont know if thats a good thing or not . Just something to look into .


I would never buy a riveted boat unless we are talking about a cheap jon boat style. nothing that gets pounded as leaking rivets suck.

Tnx Bumpy , good to know . From what i have been reading, welded is more expensive but the users of them stated the same as you mentioned. A pounding sea needs something more solid than a rivet.
I think the metal needs to be heavier on a welded unit . I guess to some owners that would matter when towing with a truck camper.
