I have spent the majority of my professional career on fiberglass and/or composite boats, so I have to say, those are my choice. Weight, strength, durability, lower maintenance and the inability to rot are some of the advantages glass boats have over wooden ones. I’ve been asked on many occasions which type raises more fish, or offers better fishability, and I’ve fished extensively on both. In my opinion, what the boat is made of doesn’t really matter; how the boat is driven by the captain, how effectively the spread is presented by the crew, and the sheer ability of the angler to get the job done are really what make the difference.
