I've had a Champion bass boat forever, but today I bought an aluminum G3 boat that was so cheap I couldn't pass it up. The G3 is aluminum. What are the pros and cons?
In general terms, you will get a smoother, quieter better ride from the fiberglass than the aluminum. The fiberglass is heavier and will ride a little deeper in the water. Obviuosly, the aluminum will bounce off rocks better than the glass, but we usually try to avoid those situations. Also, resale will most likely be better on the good glass boats.
Fiberglass can be molded into any shape, where aluminum cant. This gives designers more control for producing a high performance hull. A fiberglass boat sill give you quieter, more solid ride. Aluminum boats are less expensive, and welded aluminum boats are the toughest boats you can buy.
