Chevy/Ford Revisted

Centerpin:
1) Tin boats have higher resale value?? Maybe if your comparing them to some home made tupperware boat built in a garage, however if you buy a good quality boat from a reputable manufacturer of either aluminium or fiberglass material the resale does not favor tin boats. Resale value goes more towards the indiviual manufacturer's reputation then of course age/condition.
2) Tin boats are lower maintenance?? Both materials are wash and wear. BFD
3) Tin boats are more durable?? I think good quality glass boats are under-rated here. Glass boats may chip when hit hard on the chines however tin boats dent. Glass boats flex on the bottom where tin boats may over a period of time develop a tunnel bottom which raises the deck and lowers the chines aka slug.
4) Tin boats are lighter??? If true, which I don't think so, big deal, the glass boats still skip over whatever material, either dry or wet, rock or sand, that you're trying to row or launch over.
5) Tin Boats don't stink when left out in the sun?? You got me here, all that fish slime from those hatchery brats stink mine up something terrible. What's wrong with yours??
