I love the idea of having a lifetime aluminum hull boat but I had a friend with one that changed out two lower units on his motor and he blamed the boat.
Anyone with one?

Have a xpress hb20 bay boat and love it. Has the hyperlift v hull and is an all around great blah for fishing especially in the marsh or coast

If you are going in for the long haul, contact Hanko's and specifiy what you want. Fished with a friend in one; the boat is a tank.

I don't own a boat but I couldn't see buying a fiberglass boat. I would be too scared to hit something in the water or hit bottom or an oyster bed and ruin the boat or sink it. When I buy a boat it will be aluminum and I will build it so I don't have to worry about messing it up.

I'm a huge fan of the custom aluminum boats. They're heavy but I still like them a lot.

There is a decent looking aluminum Gaudet bay boat parked in front of Gaudet's with a for sale sign on it.
I drive by it every day. I could stop by and get details if anyone is interested.

Have an Xpress 22SS Bay Boat. Love it. It takes a pounding and fishes great. Takes rough weather other boats can't go in. You get wet, but you feel safe...

I got Lobels to make me a custom (my design)19'r 9 yrs ago. Put a rhino liner in it,115 Yamaha and never looked back. The hull is a high sided bay boat clone, very dry, drafts 6 " and gets me outside on decent days with no problems. I'm a big fan..

I would also check out American Aluminum Marine if you are in the market for a custom aluminum bay boat. It is one of the Gravois sons making recreational boats since Gravois is doing government contracts now. Very high quality boats coming out of there i think they are in Thibodaux.
