Glass boats seem to dominate the South East.
I think historically they were the easiest to repair and maintain when aluminum welding was a rare event.
As more welding shops started working with aluminum, aluminum boats have become more popular.
I used to work for JW Harris before they got bought out. At one point we acquired this little solder company in Allentown, PA. It's main product was an aluminum solder that was considered the end-all/be-all for aluminum boat welders. I had to go to Allentown a few times to get their IT systems straightened out. The whole place was in a pre-Civil War building in the woods. It was amazing to me that this little hole-in-the-wall could be so famous with a bunch of Bayou boat builders.
