Not from experience, but from others input I have a few cons to buying aluminum... Stability. Even the revolution hull from Tracker is less stable than most fiberglass boats. And they are noisy...which i think is a stupid reaosn not to get one.

For me, i would buy a used all weld aluminum boat made from .100 thick aluminum. I really want a Lowe Stinger 170... but thats out since i aint gots no money...
