    The v bottom handles rough water great, but I've heard they get blown around really bad? Is this true with aluminum v bottoms, a glass v bottom I would think would be very solid. Just curious

    Aluminium Boats

    get blown around period. I had an h-56 Xpress that the hull weighed 1100 lbs without the 135 Merc. that rode outstanding & was pretty quick too. 60 gps with 2 200 lb. men. I loved the boat except in wind. In my opinion that was the absolute only down fall it had. I now have an 18 foot glass boat that the hull weighs 1150 lbs without the 150 that is on it & there is absolutley no comparison. If it hadn't been for the wind issues I would have never went back to glass, but when trying to fish ledges 30 feet deep with just a small wind blowing down the hollow & you can't hold on it it will piss you off highly. lol
