Ben,
That's why they are so popular in Alaska.

Clammers in Essex, Mass use these Lunds as work boats. I love aluminum skiffs but want a welded hull rather than rivets.

Are you from Essex SoF ?? I love the Essex River, Crane's Beach...that whole area. I used to put my boat in at the Essex Marina all the time a few years ago. I live in Beverly.

from Wakefield but had a summer house in Rockport for years so I grew up around there. Worked in Gloucester for several years.

I carry an AL 9' dinghy w/6hp on Sea Wise davits on the swim step of my 2000 Nordic Tug 32 with no problem. I really like the set up.
