Welcome aboard! There's no specific small boat section because not many of us are smart enough to keep and enjoy them!
My first 2 were a 19' caravelle and a 23' stingray both went many season with little to no repair, now it seems like I'm doing a total rebuild every winter !

if you leave the 496 alone and just do regular servicing,it will last dam near forever,id say the 24 lavey is a very nice boat!
