Boats Fishing
Aluminium vs Fiberglass small fishing boats? Which is better for off-the-grid camping and fishing?
I’ve been looking around for a small, 12-16′ fishing boat to use for camping far up north. I’ve heard fiberglass breaks easily if we accidentally hit rocks or ground it onto a beach. Do they? Or should I shell out more for an aluminium boat? I’m trying to minimize maintenance as well so I can enjoy more time on the water.
Aluminum, aluminum, aluminum. What more can I say.
1) It’s easier to patch IF you get a hole.
2) It will bend before it breaks.
3) It’s so much lighter weight.
4) You can beach it many times over without worrying about wearing a hole in it.
5) Almost all the newer aluminum hulls are welded, not riveted, so you don’t have to worry about them working loose in 25 years.
6) Just plain stronger and can hold more weight.
