Re: aluminum boats
I love mine. It's a 20 foot Spectrum deep v, 4.3l Mercruiser i/o, open bow, pedestal seats, trim tabs etc. It weighs less than 1500lb according to the sales brochure.
The entire thing is aluminum except the floor so it will never rot. The only thing I worry about is corrosion or the foam getting saturated.
A big, high sided deep v at under 1500lb? Not knocking anyone else's boat but try and get that in fiberglass!
I can tow it with my mini van...
