(8, 4, 2x, 1x)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Who is the boat going to be used by the most?

Will the boat need to be a workhorse and take a lot of abuse from novice crews and coxswains?<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">What\u2019s the average weight of the crew?<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">How long do you plan on keeping the boat?
