[QUOTE="SilverFox, post: 4555951, member: 9102"] I just went back to aluminum after running a 20' Skeeter glass boat for the last 5 years. The aluminum is more hassle free for me which means I get to fish more. No worrying about beating up a gel coat when beaching to load or unload when by myself. No worrying about beaching it to go for a swim with the family and dog. The biggest downside for me is getting blown around by the wind easier. I lost about 20 mph but I never ran 70 anyways. Usually 45-50mph unless I was running late. You can sink a pretty penny into an aluminum. I've seen some near $50,000 when outfitted. Even a Tracker 175 is going to run you near $20,000 outfitted.
