Location: Tennessee | I really can't call one way or another. They have their strengths and trade offs. Low speed a good glass boat will bump off with little more than scuffed glass. Aluminum may be left with a dent. Fiberglass can be repaired like new, aluminum will usually leave an ugly patch or weld when you knock a hole in it. If bumping rocks is an occasional concern I wouldnt worry about a glass boat. If I *knew* I was going to be regularly hitting rocks possibly at speed, I'd roll aluminum. Beaching a boat will take a toll on either one but you can get keep savers for either that really help. |
