[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 383563, member: 10"] a huge part of the draw of an aluminum boat is the light weight and lack of maintenance. Steel boats need to be chipped and painted often and are very heavy Fiberglass is cheap (compared to aluminum) requires slight maintenance (no zero like a tinny) and weighs less then a comparable size steel boat. I get the steel boat thing but the maintenance would push me away. We have owned by MirroCraft hull (in various forms and layouts that changed over the years) since 1974 - guess how much painting and cleaning have been done to the hull - ZERO! still in good shape and no leaks [/QUOTE]
