For easier towing (not that there is a lack of power), does aluminum have a significant lightweight advantage to fiberglass?[/quote]
there are always pros vs cons with alum vs fiberglass.
aluminum is lighter, which means a lighter load on your tow vehicle, and better performance from your outboard motor (mileage + top-end)
But, on the flip side, fiberglass can cut through the waves better (vs. bouncing off them), providing a smoother ride on the water.
I'd prefer to beach an aluminum vs. my fiberglass.
That's a good looking boat.
