 .100 or .125 hull ? Looking at getting a new boat wondering if there's much of a difference between .100 versus .125 hull? I mainly running marsh big lake and river not flying up and down the river so normally do not hit logs at all when we go in backwaters usually going slow. I currently have a .125 hull never had any issues but don't beat the hell out of it either. Any info would be greatly appreciated thanks

Re: .100 or .125 hull ? .125 hands down. Don't always need something that heavy but when you need it, it's something that's nice to have. Better than a .100 wishing you had a .125 when you hit some random object or stump running the swamp

Re: .100 or .125 hull ? The weight difference between .100 vs .125 is minimal compared to the durability. My next hull will have a .190 bottom even tho my .125 hull has held up well.

Re: .100 or .125 hull ? Sounds like some bull rap materials excel would build their boats out of. Like these other guys said, Get .125 at a minimum.

Re: .100 or .125 hull ? 1/8 sides, 3/16 bottom and then if you want, deck everything in .100 gauge. Running large open water can get rough. Will beat a thin hull to death.
