 This thread seems to have been reduced to a cost factor.  Is the debate 
about price?  If people were offered a plastic boat, a glass boat, a Hepalon 
boat or a wooden boat at the same price, which would they choose?  I have had 
plastic, glass, Hepalon and wood.  I find the glass boats to be more durable 
than plastic or wood and definitely more durable than Hepalon (for my usage). 
 If I were banging, slamming and boofing, I might prefer plastic.  "Best 
boat" should not determined by price, but by performance for its intended use.
