I'm glad to see that most pretty much agree with me. However one thing to keep in mind. Pros and cons of fiberglass and aluminum. Overall weight of an aluminum hull proportion to size is obviously lighter than fg. But weight has its pros and cons. Weight affects your ride, fuel consumption, engine options, wear to your tow vehicle, ect. Alum has more durbility but usually hull failure in one is at the welds themselfs. Seen it in a Woolridge.
FG is molded in a jig but tell that to a guy who hits the dead-head @30+ knots. My old man hit one in the straits years back, accually in his sounder, and didn't even have it inspected by almar. It probably would have been a good idea, anyway but if he had hit it with a fiberglass boat, who knows what kinda damage it would have sustained. One of the reasons FG outshines Alum is the quietness of the ride and Alum's get hot to the touch in direct sunlight with warm weater. Also the nicks that Alum inevetably gets really does a number on fish lines. The maintenance of an Alum is so much less than FG and the riliability of that tow rig is gonna be increased.
Merry X-mas. Stay far away from BL's and don't fall out of any boat, good or not.
