The SSV is about $1200 more new over the WC, is it worth it? I’m looking to keep the boat for at least 10 years, so I’m willing to pay a bit more upfront if it’s worth the money. I’d hate to buy the WC and be wishing I bought the SSV for 10 years lol.



Edit: I’m looking at a 14’ on a trailer. I usually fish with 2 other “ rotund” buddies, so a decent amount of weight in the boat.

The SSV is slightly wider and will have the IPS hull so it pops up a bit quicker. It also has the full width rear splash pan which the WC does not. Walk through seating for the middle seat also makes it easier to move around the boat. You can get a drop in floor for the SSV. Not sure if that’s an option for the WC.

I guess I’’m saying the differences are more than initially meets the eye.

I’’ll be at the Barry Jays booth talking Lunds at the Edmonton Sportsman show if you want to chat more.

Here’’s my 2001 SSV-16 with a 25 hp 4 stroke Yamaha.
