Does fiberglass make a big difference in wind?

[skunked again]

I was going to suggest something like a Lund but saw the OP was from Louisiana so figured he would be navigating some skinny water at times. A Lund would look sorely out of place down there I bet. Here in KY we call them Yankee boats and it is pretty easy to tell when you see one that "they ain't from around here."

Same thing when you see a center console or bay boat around here

Make sure you consider the tow vehicle into your decision.

I would say the biggest difference would be a better rough water ride

My last boat was an 18’ Bumble Bee, and being an ‘88 it wasn’t new technology. It rode very well in rough water and on my lakes, I was still trolling when others were on the trailer. I have a Carolina Skiff now and the difference is huge. If the chance ever arises within my budget I’ll have another glass bass boat.

I went from a 20’ tin bay to a 20’ glass. There is no comparison in the ride on big water or holding in a spot. Makes a big difference
