Sunk a custom aluminum flat bottom bay boat in West Cove when I was in college on a windy/rough day. Weld cracked about 2-3' wide on the side of boat. Luckily, I got it on the east bank of west cove before it went down. Had to get sheriff dept to pick me up and then had to go back with float crane to get it out. I will never own an aluminum bay boat again. Just not made to take a beating in a bad chop. Nothing against anyone that has one and they are real nice. Just after my experience, I am going with fiberglass here on out.
