[QUOTE="Allen, post: 241775, member: 389"] After reading a similar thread about how much superior a glass boat was over aluminum, I sat and watched different boats bob around where I was catching fish at the Hook last summer on a windy day. I watched 18-20 ft Yars, Skeeters, Rangers, and glass Lunds all come out of the water with their bows just as if they were a similarly sized aluminum boat. For comparison's sake, there were a couple of 1875 Lund Crossovers and Pro V's of the 19-20 ft range doing the bob right next to the glass boats that day. However, I sat on the longest of all (22+ ft Toon) and my 60" shaft never once came out of the water. The way a boat bobs up and down is relative to its length, weight, and loading. I can sit in the bow of my 17.5 ft Fisherman and enjoy the rollercoaster ride in 3 ft waves with my prop largely staying in the water, or I can go back behind the windshield with whoever else is fishing with me and put that bow up and out of the water so much so that I can't control her.
