Where are you looking at the Diamondbacks? A dealer? They are nowhere near the price of an Alumaweld.

Both boats are good. But I would go for the Alumaweld. I feel the Alumaweld will handle more weight than the Diamondback. Meaning the Alumaweld will row easier when loaded down with 3 guys and all your gear.

I have rowed both Alumawelds and a couple Diamondbacks. Like I said both are good boats but I like Willies and Fishrites better................
