From looking at both of these boats, the difference in money is only by a couple hundred dollars, the Talon being more but is it worth it?

Both boats have almost identical weight, how is that true?

I'll be using it primarily in the puget sound for downrigging,etc for salmon and flyfishing for salmon and SRC trout for fun.

I will be putting at least a 75-90hp yamaha/honda motor.

Hard decisions here on buying new. Funny I see more Alumawelds on Craigslist than Lund Alaskans, is there a reason there?

Thanks!
