Mine is built out of 3/16" aluminum and is heavy enough for me. I mainly fish the Dularge area and in the summer I fish the island and rigs. Ive had it in true 3-4 footers before and however it wasn't the most comfortable ride at no point did I feel it was unsafe. I would never say that my boat rides as well as a fiberglass boat of the same size but I will say they dont ride that much better. When you consider the advantages of less maintenance, durabilty, and the fact that I dont have to cringe and be worried whenever I scrap an oyster reef or bump the dock a lil too hard it made the decision much easier for me.
