I had a tin rig (Fisher Marine) and then two glass Rangers over 24 years. The Rangers were great boats. But, I now have a smaller tin Lund. It serves my purposes very well, is easy to tow, and doesn’t guzzle gas. And, I don’t have to worry about getting an expensive gouge in that pretty polyflake.
"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments
I've had three glass boats over the years and one aluminum. I won't buy aluminum again. Glass rides better, dryer, faster, gets less wind blown, and looks nicer. Those are the reasons you want one so bad.
Because they're beautiful and fun. Why do guys like hot rods etc etc?
