It is the material of choice, aluminium boats in Australia are the most popular in terms of construction medium for fishing boats. They out sell fibreglass many times over. The reasons for this are quite obvious... Lighter to power (Fuel wise more economical to run), Lower maintenance (Very little to go wrong due to our very high construction standards), Highly Durable (Gives you low stress and cheaper long term boating), Lighter when towing, (Won't wear out Your Vehicle), Good resale ( Most clients have got their purchase price back when selling their boat), Long Life, Easy to clean (5 minute hose and park it), finally you can get more boat into the same weight category.
Beware of boats that look great in the showroom but just don't meet your expectations on the water. At Portside Marine we match all your needs before you buy! It is a fact that most of the fishing boats in Australia are sold without the customer having the benefit of real discussion surrounding their needs covering ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
