Location: Davenport, IA | I just went from an aluminum bassboat (Alumacraft MV Tex Special) to glass (Javelin Venom 17). There is no comparison. Aluminum gets blown around very easily by the wind. Boat control is a lot harder. The Javelin rides very dry. I thought about buying an Xpress or G3, but am very glad I went with glass. And, I probably will never go back to aluminum.
As for Aluminum bassboats, there are quite a few out there. Xpress, Tracker, War Eagle, G3, Triton, ect.
For glass, make sure you look into Stratos. You get a lot more for your money with them than with many other brands. They aren't going to measure up to a Triton or Ranger in every way, but they are pretty close for a lot less money. |
