[QUOTE="Al U Minium, post: 419846, member: 20945"] My 1968 14 footer is 0.060" and has survived rough water and being shot through the air into a field by a hurricane. For 0.010" difference in hull material thickness I have probably dragged off that much on trailers, rocks, and sand beaches. But I like my boat as light as I can get it so I can launch and recover without getting a stroke. If you are going to get an aluminum boat and load it down with 800 pounds of wet gear, hardware, fighting chairs, trolling motor, huge batteries, and a 70HP motor, get the thickest material you can find.
