As a first-time boat owner, I specifically wanted an aluminum boat because I knew I would make mistakes as I "learned the ropes" of driving a boat.  And, believe me, I've added some scratches to the boat as I've learned! On one of my first trips to Lake Seminole, I was running in the boat lane and moved to the side to allow room for an oncoming boat. I ended up running right over a submerged tree top that was right at the waterline on the edge of the lane.  I was going about 25-30 MPH and it kicked me up into the air but I was able to continue on my way without any damage (just a slight pucker issue for me).  If I had been in a glass boat, I suspect it might have been different.
