| I have run both, i switched to fiberglass in 1984 and have been running glass ever since, fiberglass boats are hand laid in a mold, everything is glassed together this creates a unibody construction, there are no rivets, welds, screws, etc. to rattle lose, they run faster, have a better ride than tin boats, and also are dryer rideing in rough water, all of your offshore,comercial fishing boats are made of fiberglass,there is a reason for this they hold up better in the long run. the weight factor fiberglass is about the same as tin, there are some great tin boats out there, you need to try out the ride differance for yourself, resale on tin or fiberglass all depend on make and model i would buy a used glass boat before a riveted tin boat , any day. there are many great fishing boats out there by no means am i bashing any of them, i am just giveing my opinion after hundreds of days of guideing on lake oahe,sakawea , these are vast , windy, brutal, bodies of water. | |
