re: Advantages/Disadvantages of various types of boats?

---

Flat bottom- Run in shallower water. Easier to push off of sand flat or mud if you get stuck. Better for fishing the interior marsh.

For some reason flatbottome boats seem to be less expensive than vee or semi-vee hull boats. Less labor? Materials?

Aluminum- Is lighter than fiberglass and usually more durable and harder to dent or put a hole in it. Better for shallow water boats such as go-devils/gator tails because it is lighter.

Easier to repair if you poke a hole in the hull.
