Aluminum Boat/vs Fiberglass Boat
I Have Owned Both, Now This Is Just My Two Cents...... My Old Hydra-sport Is A 17' Er And When I Got It In 88 It Had A 235 Evinrude On It And On A Nice Calm Evening No Boat Traffic I Would Turn Her Loose And She Would Hit Around 80 But Suck Gas Like You Knocked A Big Hole In The Gas Tank..... Kept Blowing Pistons So I Decided I Couldn't Afford It Nor Go That Damn Fast..... We Had A Tournament Out Of Osage Bluff In 89.... 3 Ft. Waves Washing In That Morning And I Said We Should Cancel The Tour... Oh No Lets Have It....... Two Aluminum Boats Were Sank That Morning From Water Coming In Faster Than The Bilge Pump Could Handle..... I Know The New Ones Are Much Nicer Now And Deeper. I Did Like Towing The Alum... Nice And Light..... Also V-max's Coming Apart On Him Does Not Surprise Me..... I Call It Slow Down, Even That Morning Of The Tourn. Just Get Her On Top Was All You Needed......crappie Will Wait On You....i Like Figerglass For The Stability Of It.....aluminum Is For Cabs And Polishing.........
