Something worth mentioning is environmental impact and recycling. Aluminum is far more eco friendly and is 100% recyclable. If you damage a fiberglass boat beyond repair insurance might reimburse you but the boat is unusable in any way and just adds to are growing trash problem, where aluminum is worth its weight in aluminum scrap. In Washington state we literally have 10s of thousands of junk fiberglass boats sitting around. You wont see any junk aluminum boats sitting around ever.
I just bought a second hand Fraser 525, with a fibreglass hull. It's launch date predates my birthday by 12 months, and I'm 39 years old. It's had two owners. It'll need some new marine carpet, and two new seats but apart from that it's an excellent boat. Your issue in Washington state isn't the fibreglass hulls, it's the consumerism and want for brand new and shiney. Very little goes wrong with a well built fibreglass hull, and it should last more than a lifetime. The Fraser I bought has spent it's life in the salt water ocean off the Western Australian coast and that's where I'll be taking it, open ocean.
@@woodywood6961 Probably has more to do with poor construction methods and hull design than consumerism. Plenty of old fiberglass boats running around. I have had plenty of fiberglass boats i had 3 at the time I bought my Stabicraft. 1979 Mako 25, Livingston viking 155, livingston 14 all great boats that either got completely gutted and rebuilt or like the Mako had so much decontamination it needed to be thrown away. I still have a fiberglass boat 1969 skipjack that is torn down to the bare hull at the moment. My stabicraft is still in like new condition 5 years later and if something happens to it I can scrap it for some money unlike a glass boat that will cost me money.
I've got a 6.2 metre 1985 Star boat made for the New South Wales coast guard. 5 mm plate hull with full wet deck. It was produced by the company that now builds massive naval vessels in numerous countries. It is one of the best boats I've had or been in. I've been in similar sized boats made of fibreglass and I believe that the Star craft is a better riding and handling boat. Sitting stationary it is a very stable fishing platform. I have returned to the marina leaving a lot of fibreglass boats similar in size and power in my wake because of the ability to punch through heavier seas with good stability and handling. I will admit that it is noisier to sit in with water slap but overall it is, in my opinion better than a fibreglass boat of similar size and power. For all you people who disagree...how many have actually been in a aluminium boat when the weather turns and you rely on your boat to get you back to the harbour and by the way ...I have had fibreglass boats in the past.
Pacific sportfish super vee has had this design for over 20 years , one of the softest riding plate boats ever built ! Still in high demand on the used boat market.
Same on my 7 metre aluminum and my 10 metre steel, annoying when trying to sleep but in the stockholm archipelago they're the best materials to have, all the glass boats are up on the hard both of mine are in the water.
I’ve never been in an aluminum boat that rides well ever and it doesn’t matter how big they are or how much dead-rise they have , they are just light and can’t seem to absorb shock like a glass or timber boat , but they are great to tow up the beach , that’s the only plus I can see
I’ve had boats all my life Sold my aluminium plates boat by a top brand and went fibreglass. Weight matters. Fibreglass every time unless you are beaching you’re boat all the time Thanks Greg
The labour in fabrication must be a major drawback when compared to laying up a hull and deck in a mould. All those smooth edges and details must take a lot of time and cost to achieve.
Jim Thompson nothing wrong with wood as long as proper procedures are followed, repairs are made when Hull is compromised and cowboy installation enthusiasts are kept TF out of your boat 🤣👌
Looking at the gentle conditions in the back ground, and how much the boat your presenting in is rocking... I'm not sold. I'm open minded, but I'm not sold.
Too much buoyancy. You can adqd a sea keeper gyro to eliminate the rocker effect. The other problem besides the obvious noise is a complete lack comfort. "No replacement for displacement" is a nice way of saying you can never add too many quality of life features to you vessel. All Aluminum does have value in North America for in shore lake mainly as a hunting boat (G3s). No way gonna compete with a 53 foot long Scout Center Console tho.
Not that hard at all. Extremes have a down turn chine, wide water line beam and the 21 degree deadrise. These are features you see on glass boats. Have you been in a plate that has a down turn chine?
Modern alloys are very corrosion resistant, so I no longer think that is a significant issue. If I had the resources I would have an aluminum center console designed and custom built...one can only dream.
I'm going back to glass, ride better,flared bow,easy to clean, no corrosion.period! Alloy looks like crap after a couple of years.Pull off the marine carpet and see all the corrosion.
I live in Michigan & bought a Stabicraft. You do not get that corrosion on fresh water lakes & run my 1650 fisher on the great lakes. Handled the ruff water better when driving a bit faster because it runs over the top of the water. You also get lots of big floating tree branches in the Great lakes which would cause major damage to a fiberglass boat.
swifter...? How can a size for size fiberglass boat that weighs hundreds if not thousands of kg's heavier be swifter!? The thing that makes a fiberglass boat softer and smoother is the weight. Its also what makes it heavier to tow, more expensive to run, less nimble, less agile, slower to turn and harder to control crossing bars, running down waves etc.
TheTempleofE u know nothing about boat Fiberglass is the ultimate all top end boats worlds fastest speed boats are all Fiberglass because alloy is crap to light it can flip and alloy bangs the water Fiberglass cuts threw
Metal fatigue can be a problem, welding reduces strength by 20% each time you repair it. Repair a glass boat and it's as per it's designed strength. You can't compare the two materials, it's a dangerous game marketing one against the other. So many ally and glass boats are sinking, the whole industry is a joke. I'm not a solid glass fan because of the weight, lack of bouancy, lack of centre of gravity and lack of good design to achieve level floatation. How many boats do you know you can sit in with no bungs without sinking it? I'm a fan of composite timber glass boats. Light, strong and most importantly safe. Throw 5mm plate in water, it sinks. Throw 10mm glass in the water, it sinks, through ply with a few layers of DB guess what it floats. It's not worth debating, just build a safe boat.
Aluminium is far better, anyone that says fibreglass is better doesn't know what they are talking about. Fibreglass should be illegal already for the amount of waste alone they produce.
Oversimplification of ride comparison at best. Incorrectly state dead rise is THE factor determining ride. What about weight??? A bit disingenuous to omit that, mind you you bring up light weight as being an advantage for towing, which is real important to think about when on the seas ruining your back. The reverse chine is a "cheat" way to introduce a 21 degree deadrise into a hull.

Then go buy one of those aluminum boats and get your back beat up douchebag
William Gray shut up extremes are fucking smooth bro go over the fucking bar and it’s smooth as shit have you been on one

Don’t need a mine site or a smelter to make fibreglass. You talked with shit in you’re mouth if you are trying to sell either as eco friendly champ.

Nice boat but glass is still the best ride! But love the look and setout of the extreme
Pacific sportfish super vee has had this design for over 20 years , one of the softest riding plate boats ever built ! Still in high demand on the used boat market.
The background music can't even cover up the water slapping on the hull in smooth conditions. Sounds like you inside a tank!

@Jonathan Anastopoulos your idea of fun is different to most others I know , speed difference would be minimal , have you actually ever been in a boat
Keep up the great work brother. Cheers
Nice boat but for that kind of money I'd still buy a cootacraft, razorcraft or a rebuilt haines formula
I’ve had boats all my life Sold my aluminium plates boat by a top brand and went fibreglass. Weight matters. Fibreglass every time unless you are beaching you’re boat all the time
Thanks Greg
Sold a razor line for a Grady white. No comparison for ride comfort.

Que diferencia tiene en los precios entre uno de fibra y este de aluminio?
Muy bonito esos botes !
Why are all boat ads done in calm conditions. I want to see it when shit its the fan.
These guys have done a crazy test video in huge waves
I want one so badly
I'm glad that there is competition against the fiberglass MAKET. It's about time.
New fiberglass boat hulls are wood free.
Jim Thompson it’s the opposite mate
@@waynelangman579 huh? most new fiberglass boats are completely free of plywood or any other wood.
Jim Thompson nothing wrong with wood as long as proper procedures are followed, repairs are made when Hull is compromised and cowboy installation enthusiasts are kept TF out of your boat 🤣👌
Im going to buy my Lotto Ticket tomorrow. . Very Nice !!
how does the ride compare to stable craft glide trhough the water?
Looking at the gentle conditions in the back ground, and how much the boat your presenting in is rocking... I'm not sold. I'm open minded, but I'm not sold.

With a Polycraft boat you get the best of both worlds.
How do these boat compare to stabicraft?
Plated still its a hard ride mate you cant compare hainshunter baysprot Bertram
Not that hard at all. Extremes have a down turn chine, wide water line beam and the 21 degree deadrise. These are features you see on glass boats. Have you been in a plate that has a down turn chine?
old school hainshunters/cootacrafts have the best rides
who here has been in boats since 1968
yeh
What's the price of your boat ????
Alu over tupperware always, and without question.
Modern alloys are very corrosion resistant, so I no longer think that is a significant issue. If I had the resources I would have an aluminum center console designed and custom built...one can only dream.
Sorry but Tin boats and glass boats can’t be compared I’ve owned and been in enough of both tin is for rivers glass is for the sea
Fibreglass for me
I think your full of it 😉
Ben in an Extreme William?
hi what is the boat and motor prize is south africa rand + can i poet on 2x engines
Adventureguy I think it’s about 170 maybe 200 k with a twin motor
I'm going back to glass, ride better,flared bow,easy to clean, no corrosion.period! Alloy looks like crap after a couple of years.Pull off the marine carpet and see all the corrosion.

BBBYpsi Fiberglass is stronger than alloy
You are welcome
Wtf easer to clean??
@@FerozKhan-bg4pb That is patently false.
아주 좋아요 👍
riveted and wielded? 😉
And salt water will turn aluminum into trash. Right?
Erm... no. A good alloy boat will outlive a fiberglass boat these days, easily.
You can't beat the ride of a fiberglass boat there soft smother swifter
you cant hit anything drive it up a concrete boat ramp ha ha

Not everyone can afford aluminum boat
Fibre glass any day.
I need friends when I turn my suit off they disserper
I’m gojng for my boat license and need some friends to pen sing my school book
we don't need a boat licence in my country
Car boat
Tuff boats
Wheres the fucken comparison?
Nice add but unfortunately still alloy.
Aluminium is far better, anyone that says fibreglass is better doesn't know what they are talking about. Fibreglass should be illegal already for the amount of waste alone they produce.
And you do 😂

That's hilarious!😂
I've owned one of these boats,Sold it 4 months later,
👎
tell me what was wrong with the boat and what model was it and year?
What was the problem with it - dosent look stable at all very shallow boat?
Your going to need a better explanation of why you dont rate extremes if you want to your comment to carry any weight
Jolinator i have one 6.5-extreme sold it 3 months later not good
"not good" meaning what exactly? not good how?
