As one replied depends upon the purpose. I had a glass boat till I hit a log with the outboard and the transom cracked. Now I have a tinny....

I'd love to have a wooden boat, but not until I have a fiberglass house.

I also have a tracker 1436 like yours but my wife will not let me take it to the stripper pits But she has no problem when I want to go to the striper local lake.

What else floats on water?

"A duck!"

"So if she's made of wood she's a witch....... Burn the witch!"

.......You've got to love the movie.

God made aluminum too.........

I have a real aluminum boat..... welded out of plate alloy, not just thin sheets riveted together.

Ever seen aluminum burn? It's pretty gnarly.

Re: Do you own an alunium or fiberglass boat?

No one with just a little class would never admitt to being a no class glass owner.

are you kidding.......me own a tinny?....tinny owners are cheaters......(this includes starcraft owners)

you aren't really a boat owner till you have had to replace the wood stringers/ transom and foam in a glass boat.
you have to actually lay in the bare fiberglass hull grinding with short sleeves and pants to really appreceate boats.

ok guys....i fired the first shot......go for it....lol

Re: Do you own an aluminum or fiberglass boat?

I've had several bondo boats but only one tin. My present hole in the water is a 1991 Prince craft Springbok S/P 196, not many like it in south Florida. We usually see glass boats down here where the water never gets colder than 70 degrees. Anyhow. It?s been a great boat; I have had no issues with the salt water. If I have any complaints it's the deck gets a bit hot during those 100 degree summer days other than that I love it. Oh and I get allot of "Hey what kind of boat is that?" questions and the sand bar.
