If you are fishing leech, lacs, and LOTW go with glass if you can afford to do so. I have owned several aluminum boats and several glass, I loved my aluminum boats (every one from a 10' tin to a 20' crestliner sportfish). But I have to say my 20 year old ranger is by far the best all around fishing boat I have owned.

I had a very nicely set up 14 foot aluminum boat with a console 40hp with kicker for the local lakes and rivers, I thought this is the rig for my area...until my ranger came home. My ranger does everything my 14 could do, weave, duck, slide in the smallest rivers, some rivers are so small I have to back out because the creek it not wide enough to spin the boat around. Also I am not scared to go on bigger water, been out on Lake Erie fishing. I find it more to be the driver than the vehicle when it comes to the tight spots

You will be happy with glass
