Is there a reason you didn't want fiberglass?
When these boats came out they peaked my interest because it looks like no other aluminum bass boat. The deck is huge at 8'6" and the amount of storage is crazy.
My first fresh water boat I had for 5+ years and it was a aluminum hull Tracker Mod-V 18 and it found ALOT of rocks because I was fishing new water almost every week and I love to fish the shallows. So when it came to looking at another boat it made me thing of how I fish and how that could be really bad on a fiberglass hull.
It also helped I found this boat for such a deal I wouldn't have been able to touch a fiberglass boat for that price.
Would I buy a fiberglass boat now?. Yup in a heart beat
Would I change my decision now that I have had my boat for 7+ years? NOPE
Plus I'm really easy to find in RI.. I tend to stick out like a sore thumb, haven't seen any others in RI or CT.
