Attached is our brochure of tour boats, this doesn't include all our models.

A simple 30 passenger passenger boat would run 390-425 depending on options etc

Good morning Richard

Almost all military contracts use aluminum or steel worldwide, this alone should let you know the strength and maintenance of aluminum.

A lot of east coast captains are used to FRP, and don't know about aluminum. The Northwest has for years switched from fiberglass to aluminum for its durability. We have a passenger boat on NEVIS that I can get you in touch with the captain if you like to talk to him about aluminum etc.

Hello again Richard

I also forgot to mention most police departments and fire departments throughout the United States do not use fiberglass boats
