Fibreglass Fishing Boats for Sale South Africa

What is stronger aluminum or fiberglass?

Aluminum is more durable than fiberglass, which is prone to breaking or cracking from impact. Aluminum is more resistant to punctures also. Though sharp objects hit with enough force can puncture an aluminum hull, it is less likely to cause major damage.

What is cheaper fiberglass or aluminum?

Fiberglass is usually more expensive because fiberglass boats are usually bigger, heavier, and more complicated in their construction, they’re often more expensive than small aluminum boats.

Their higher weight means fiberglass boats don’t get easily buffeted by the wind, so they tend to drift slower and more predictably (a trait important to anglers, in particular).
