Have to go with the advice my Dad gave me on this one.
He owned a smokercraft (aluminum) for many years and our cousin owned a Lund dealership in Pierre, South Dakota, and his conclusion was this.
When he was a younger fisherman he found that aluminum was his choice - light weight, easy to haul, fished well, etc.
Now that he is older - 72 - he like the heavy, secure feeling of a glass boat.
In fact he wanted me to look into getting a Warrior or YarCraft. His comment was that even in the roughest water the boat didn't beat you up crossing rough water.
So it is aluminum for me now and I will have to look at the glass boat in about 15 years. That probably when I'll have mine payoff - LOL...[
