Reply With Quotethere are some great tin boats out there but prefer glass for the ride. Shop it and dont be in any hurry and you will find a good deal somewhere. If you are talking new boats then the sky's the limit, get your wallet ready for either.

Boat question
Pros / cons on aluminum versus fiberglass. May have the boss talked in to upgrading my dinosaur and trying to hear some opinions.

Glass means never having to say your sorry.

I have the heaviest aluminum boat known to man and I can tell you if you have a chance to get a glass boat do it. Mine is used for hunting and fishing or I would have one.

if i ever get another boat i don't know if it will be glass or alum, but i do know this for sure, it will be a center console where you don't have to get up and down.

That's a tough choice.I have owned both and both have their place.But if i had to choose one it would be aluminum.If i had plenty of money, 20' ranger for slow trolling and an 18' express for pole fishing.Good luck

To me it completely depends on where you fish the most. Open water with scattered timber glass for me. I fish 99% on south ky lake/Tn River. I went from glass to aluminum and will never go back. This is where the open water stopped and the bulldozing began this past Sunday. I bet there is a cord of wood in the back of my boat. Can anybody tell who made the jig in this pic? Look close!

Most folks agree that glass boats are more comfortable and offer a smoother ride. The big metal boat market has improved over the last few years but I still believe you cannot beat the ride and stability a glass boat offers. Due mostly to the shear weight of the hull.
