This week we are looking at aluminum fishing
boats. Over the last several years we have tested 65 aluminum fishing boats from
nine major manufacturers, both bass and multi-specie units. Some of these boats
are no longer in production under the designation that we tested them several years
ago, but we assure you that most live on with a new name in a slightly altered color
scheme and name. If there are faster or more fuel efficient boats out there, we
haven’t tested them. Of course performance isn’t the only criteria you should use
when buying a new boat – warranty, features, construction, durability, re-sale value
and customer service are all more important reasons. To find out the specific engine
models involved, click on the tests. Two weeks ago we took a look at fiberglass
bass boats in much the same way. Aluminum or fiberglass, these days the consumer
has a lot to choose from. To help you sort it out hundreds of options, use BoatTest.com’s
database of over 100 freshwater fishing boats from most major brands.
