Yea! Aluminum is more durable, so if your wanting to fish smaller streams and creeks or fishing near dams where the boat might be scraping the walls as well as the lakes, Id say aluminum. If your fishing the main rivers and lakes/reservores, and want a smoother ride w/ more speed and and more hp w/ larger motor, Id go fiberglass. I personally, for my type of fishing, would choose aluminum because they are more versital.IMO
