Location: MN | If an aluminum boat and fiberglass boat have the same dimensions will they both drift and handle the same in the wind? Dimensions including hull weight, engine, height of sides, depth of hull, etc, all being equal. If the specs are the same between two boats, I would imagine they would be pushed around the same / boat control the same on windy days. A good friend is buying a new boat and is debating the aluminum vs. fiberglass for fishability and boat control in wind. In the past I believed fiberglass had less drift and better handling in windy conditions, but for reasons stated above I question if this is true.
