    I don’t have an Alumacraft (well yes I do–a jon boat). But I do have a 14′ Lund aluminum with a 35hp on it. It’s so old nobody can date it. And I’ve towed it with the motor on from FL to Canada twice, and to Northern Minnesota. Also countless other trips like Georgia etc. Even more, I’ve abused that poor thing a LOT. Bottom is all dented from hitting logs and rocks. It just keeps on keeping on. No leaks. I did replace the transom wood a few years ago because it just rotted out. These things are tougher than we give them credit for. Disclaimer: If it was as nice as the rig in the picture, it might get treated with more respect.
