[QUOTE="Grandslam11, post: 4555744, member: 9977"] Ill get it kicked off. In the next few years I will buying about boat. I intend to almost exclusively bass fish out of it but that includes some river systems as well. I will be a weekend warrior and not a tournament angler. I have never owned an aluminum boat but here are my pros and cons. Please add to these Alumimun Boat Pros- Inexpensive to buy Inexpensive to operate light weight to haul dont worry so much about bumping into things. Cons Light Weight (wont handle windy days well) Scary on big bodies of water Fiberglass Pros more than likely more deck room probably more comfortable to fish out of more storage More comfortable to ride in will handle big water better would handle wind better Cons Usually require larger motors chance of dryrotting more expensive to operate Please add to or take away as you see fit. My ideal fiberglass boat would be a triton, my idea aluminum boat would be a Tracker [/QUOTE]
