I see guys from down south using mostly glass boats, but there's a reason most of us up north and into Canada use aluminum: rocks. When you hit one with aluminum the result is usually a scratch or dent. Hitting those same rocks in a fiberglass boat can mean disaster.

Been proven many times that statement is false, and in some cases fiberglass actually stands up better than aluminum. If you hit rocks hard enough to cause damage to fiberglass, there will be comparable damage to the aluminum. Now if you will fish rivers mostly I vote aluminum otherwise find a tuffy emag and love it!


I'm curious as to why the suggestion to fish aluminum in rivers if not for the impact resistance.


Far easier to maneuver in skinny water
