[QUOTE="SilverFox, post: 4556289, member: 9102"] The only downside I see to aluminum is fishability in the wind. With power poles or the new spot lock trolling motors that pretty levels the playing field. Sure the glass is going to ride better in rough situations... at least vs a mod v type hull. I had a padded hull aluminum before I went with glass Skeeter and it rode fairly well but compared to my Skeeter it was well behind. I personally would trade the better ride any day to be able to fish shallower and get into places I couldn't with the glass boat. I don't like to say never but I don't see me going back glass. Aluminum boats have come so far it just doesn't make sense to me. My G3 has everything my Skeeter had as far as boat vs boat. [/QUOTE]
