That makes sense about using aluminum due to the rocks in the rivers and such.
The boats will be utilized mainly for day trips. It would be nice to be able to get out of the weather every now and then especially in the north. My wife will be with me most of the time. We try to spend as much time together doing stuff as possible (by choice) and I would like her to be as comfortable as I can within reason. We won't be hard core, just looking forward to being wowed by the scenery and overall ambiance of our surroundings. The fishing will give us something to do and formulate a purpose.
We have thought about the trawler option, but I'm not that convinced that we would utilize the overnight facilities that much if any at all. I think we would be more interested in speed and manueverability.
I cannot express how much I appreciate the feedback and advice. I realize that you are working at a disadvantage of not knowing us, but everyone has given me many things to think about and have helped narrow down my choices.
Any additional thoughts are greatly appreciated.
