| A lot depends on where you fish and where you want to fish. Perhaps you answered your own question when you mentioned "some pretty skinny waters".
It's kind of like asking what's the ride like getting to where you want to fish, and how comfortable you are after you reach it. Fiber glass will probably give you a smoother/dryer ride to where you want to fish.
You may want to consider resale value of what you purchase.
I recently bought an aluminum fishing boat only because the is a horse power limit on the lake (Fellows Lake in Missouri) I want to fish. So, now I have a fiber glass boat with 115 that takes the waves that I'm comfortable with and a 16 ft aluminum boat that will do some what the same, but at a much slower pace.
Both boats should get me into skinng waters, which is where I want to fish.
Scratches happen. From my experience, I don't see a lot of difference from aluminum and fiber glass. It's more how you treat your boat.
I like fiber glass, but I would go with aluminum where you live.
Good luck....and muskies don't always know whether it it aluminum or fiber glass.
Have fun.
