[QUOTE="muddywaders, post: 371541, member: 13234"] Welcome to the forum N.E. nice score with the Lund they are excellent boats.The newer SSVs are hard-chined and in my opinion not as sea-worthy as the original design.Have tried a few different motors on this hull and believe that a 30hp 2-stroke is ideal for your purposes-light enough to get in and out of the shallows yet enough power to plane three guys without working too hard.There is ply-wood between the inner and outer layers of the transom that will rot and cause the hull to flex.Some guys just add a plate on the back instead of replacing the wood.Remember a posting where the owner replaced the wood with square alum. and did a very tidy job I will look for it and post the link.Good luck with your project M.W.
