Location: NoDak | jumped a floating log at 30mph in a glass lund, it chipped the keel, I would say that would have dented/ loosened rivets in aluminum. that being said I love glass and I have dropped off people and gotten people from rock beaches with out a keel guard, that made me nervous, but had to be done and I know from experience it isn't a big deal to touch rocks, now obviously I have a keel guard and don't mind bumping rocks, I can draft under 10 inches in my 21 foot warrior and get what needs to be done DONE!
the only think I know aluminum will take better is abuse from dockrash and trailering mishapps like a loose rubbing strap on the transom, that stuff can wear thru glass
