Before you buy that alumacraft you ought to give Bainbridge Marine a call. Express aluminum boats has just come out with a redfish model and a flats model. They look pretty sweet. Bainbridge Marine 229-246-9547 ask for Kyle.

Take a look at Sea Ark and Duracraft also, they make some nice aluminum inshore rigs.

It looks nice. Is it better than a G3?
Keep shopping and find one for less than 11k and buy it.

I've owned two Alumacraft jon boats. Huggins Outboard in Albany sells them. They are built to last. Square ribs instead of round. Very well built. If I ever buy a metal boat again, it'll be a Alumacraft.

I have had an Alumacraft, a Fisher Marine and now a War Eagle. The War Eagle is the best built so far.

Little worrysome that you have to call for a price. Pretty decent looking boats though.

Is there an advantage of Aluminum over composite/fiberglass?
