| I too have had both aluminum and fiberglass boats. I'll opt for the fiberglass over aluminum. My current boat is a 20' 1979 Wellcraft which was repowered for the 2000 season. She looks exceptionally good, runs like a dream, has an extreme gull wing bow which stays dry in 3-4 ft seas. As earlier responders to your post have stated, with a glass boat the storage areas will remain drier, the heavier hull handles rough water much better and is more stable in the water whether under power or adrift, and any hull damage is far easier to repair. The glass hull requires perhaps a bit more cleaning and waxing but with proper care will last almost forever and still look exceptionally sharp.
My twenty-three year old craft certainly offers testament to that.
....Be sure to enjoy whatever boat you decide upon....[;)]
