Location: Chicago, Beverly | I occasionally keep my Tuffy tied to a dock for a week or two.. Bad winds even with dock bumpers can do a little damage to fiber whereas when having done this with my old al row boat only damage was really paint... rather then the actual surface.. I like the ride my fiberglass has, a little smoother in certain situations then al.. Waves hitting the hull of the boat make very little sound whereas al can be loud..
Rocks, stumps, bolders..etc... can possibly do more damage to a fiber boat then a al boat.. Not saying al won't get damaged, just damage might not be quite as bad.. |
