ABS -A is standard grade used for ship building, it has 38,000 psi yield strength and a 58,000 to 71,000 psi Ultimate tensile strength with a 22 % elongation before failure . That's pretty tough steel similar to mild steel or low carbon steel. Depending on how thick wall thickness is and how close the runners or bulkheads / ribs are spaced apart in the boats construction and what safety factor was used by the designer, you should whined up with a pretty tough boat, that's very sea worthy.
