Fishing boats glass or aluminium??

I am sure others will chime in here that know much more than I, but I my family and I have owned a few of each over the past 15 years. I think the main difference is weight, reapir and longevity. We have had to repair both alum as well as glass and I found the alum to be far easier to repair. I also think they last longer and look better after 30 years of hard use. They are lighter and thats a plus if you need to launch in not so perfect areas. But as you said, you will be at noce ramps and will not have to deal with this, so I would think either way. For weight, longevity and repair I have liked our amum boats much better, but I am sure others will have a totally different view. Good luck, and be sure to take pics of the one you choose.
