We're looking at downsizing and upgrading our dinghy. I've a qst for those that have experience with either or both. We are looking at a GRP vs and Al bottom. Both 9'. The AL is lighter and the recommend max hp is 10. We have a 15 I will be using. I've a neighbor that has a 9 AL and uses the 15 on her and say's one really just needs to be careful. I'm of the opinion with either dinghy one needs to be careful.
