With the wood, glass fiber and plastic resin, though, doesn't the three of those things just make it a higher end composite?
Maybe in some folks minds... Not in mine.

Seems like a few here have their panties in a bunch. Let it go. Use whatever you want. Just one comment I found funny....
"If GW uses it/does it... it's good enough for me." Not the case at all.

ha ha ha...now there you go Fishtales stirring that pot ever so gently. :) This reminds me of a buddies Labrador, if anyone ever threw a stick or anything he would bring it back and pester you forever wanting the game to keep on. Incidentally, the buddy was not a hunter and I don't think the dog ever saw a duck up close.

Not to add any fire more to this thread, but just caught up to it and find lots of comments interesting.

One point worth mentioning in my case. When I bought my Grady, my SS trim tabs were corroded through...yep, had holes in them from corrosion. Had to buy new one's as could not stand the swiss cheese look on my tabs not to mention the water being sprayed around.

Here is a good article from BoatUS that has good references to ABYC and other details about the different types of metals.
