Alloy versus Glass - the Vexed Question
In my opinion people have been sucked into the old marketing arguments of fibreglass versus aluminium.
Both are excellent materials to use in the manufacture of boats. There is far more value in discussing the design of the actual boats made with each material. For example many aluminium boats are flat bottomed and people immediately assume that this makes them more practical for river usage. Is this because it was flat bottomed or because of the material used in manufacture? Below is the Delta !60, a flat hulled fibreglass boat with exceptional durability and very light weight.
