Subject: Fiberglass vs. Aluminum


I like the glass boats the best. I have owned both and can tell you that I will never go back to aluminum unless forced to because of lack of funds. If you are going to pull your boats up on the rocks a lot for shore lunch etc. Than Aluminum is the deal for you. Aluminum is slightly and I mean slightly lighter for towing. However being lighter and sitting higher in the water you will be effected much more by wind and waves. Glass boats "hold" in the water much better. This helps you fish the wind much easier. If you can afford one of the top of the line glass boats by all means buy one you will not be disappointed. By the way, if it matters, glass boats are much faster on top end with the same H.P. Has to do with the friction of glass as opposed to aluminum. Hope this helps, I drive a Ranger myself. I love that boat.............
