First, fiberglass boats will last literally forever if properly maintained, and the reason the really old boats are aluminum and wood is those materials were used before fiberglass came along. Do Corvette bodies fall apart? Nope.....
Second, aluminum boats will too.
Third, Aluminum is NOT as easy to repair to like new as glass. How many great lake charter rigs 24' to 35' are aluminum? You think all those boats tied to docks in the slips at the clubs and the like are all new? Both materials make for a great boat. Since this thread was posted last year, Lund introduced a new Glass rig, and Triton introduced aluminum proving they think about the same thing. |
