One difference I’ve noticed is the hull noise is much greater in an aluminum boat Vs fiberglass. During one trip to the Gorge in the latter part of April, our group had a fiberglass and an aluminum boat. We were fishing for rainbows, casting jigs and spinners into shore. We caught allot more fish from the fiberglass boat. At first we thought it was fisherman skills. So we switched boats and had the same result. So I guess if you want to run in stelf mode (running with the electric) fiberglass is the way to go. But I think there is a time and a place for both. I currently own an 18' fiberglass and if I were a rich man I would have both, all decked out with all of the toys.
