What people don't realize is that the older aluminum boats used virgin aluminum and the newer ones use reclaimed aluminum. My Canada camp owner buys every nice old S-16 Lund that he can find because the rocks dent and the rivets let go in the newer aluminum boats.

Smoking deal on that one. Budget do it all type rig
