Problem with most aluminum boats is the bottom will get so dented it will start splitting and weaken if your going over stumps all the time because of their hull thickness. Gator Trax uses 3/16" aluminum and they will make it any dimension you want. Not all Gator Trax boats come in .190, you have to upgrade. Some other manufacturers will use the thicker stuff too if you ask.

Ott's boat is far from stock. BASS did another article about all of the engineering he put in to it. For some reason I think he has $20K in custom welding done to it. Pretty fascinating machine.

1860 tunnel hull with a custom full flipping deck. 90hp Yamaha. Your main concern in a aluminum rig is draft and livewell. You have to have a good livewell to keep your fish alive.
