[QUOTE="stone4140, post: 181153, member: 916"] I just purchased my first aluminum boat. But I have fished for many years from a 13ft fiberglass boat and it treated me very well. It was very stable especially after I decked it, the extra weight worked as a ballast. And and I never had to worry about leaks like I do now. But the weight is the major reason I switched. I like having outboards I can work on so getting into 40+ hp motors isn't my thing at this point. What motor are you going to put on that rig. It looks like it will be a great platform for a couple guys and even though its heavier I bet you will still be able to sneak into some pretty shallow water with that hull. Being as heavy as a car never stopped me from stirring up some muck :D There is a fiberglass section on here with some modded boats I linked mine but there is one called bumble bee or something like that which is kinda like your boat.. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6457 [/QUOTE]
