BW, If you own a lavro, I would ask them if their warrantee covers delamination, and gelcoat replacement. Your chines are probably the first place you will have a problem. If it was me, I would check and repair problems, at least once a season, more if you fish a lot , or see damage. TV HOST how high a driftboat floats is determined by the beam of the boat, and the weight in it, and how well it is balanced. Since fibreglass is almost TWICE as heavy as aluminum, you can't blame the low float on the material. If fibreglass takes a hit and scrape as well as aluminum, why then do you not see glass jetsleds anywhere?????
